The 27-year-old teacher and the 18-year-old student who wasn't yet 18
According to the Peoria Unified School District's May 28 statement, Haley Beck was terminated after an internal probe found she not only had a sexual relationship with the student but also allegedly sent explicit text messages about oral sex, completed some of his homework, allowed him to drive her car,and bought him marijuana and alcohol. The Peoria Police Department opened an investigation into adult luring a minor for sexual exploitation in the summer of 2025, indicating that at least part of the alleged misconduct occurred before the student turned 18. The district noted that a second teacher, Angela Burlaka, was also accused of an inappropriate relationship with the same student; Burlaka was placed on administrative leave and later resigned.
What the search warrant and the June 5, 2026 deadline reveal
