Teacher Accused of Sex Acts with Student Turns Herself In

A Clayton Public School teacher turned herself in to authorities Sunday on complaints of sexual misconduct with a student. Rhonda Ford was booked in to the Pushmataha County jail on complaints that ranged from lewd or indecent acts with a child under 16 to rape in the second degree. OSBI’s investigation began March 14 with allegations the 29-year-old high school teacher was having a sexual relationship with one of her 15-year-old students. A warrant for her arrest was issued last week.
