She Sent Her Teacher To Prison, And Then He Tried To Apologize To Her When He Took The Stand
It has been two years since TikToker Michelle (@lifesucks1234567898) sent her teacher to prison. Her percussion director abused his power while he was teaching at Midway Middle School.
He was in a relationship with two children at the school. The school let him go from his position, but didn’t report his behavior to the police.
That decision had devastating consequences because it left him free to assault Michelle.
Her dad was still alive when the police came to their house to notify them of the case against her percussion director.
But then, he died before the trial. Michelle delivered a raw and emotional victim impact statement at the trial, crying as she spoke.
She talked about how she had developed trust issues from the incident and how her relationships with people were affected.
The worst part was when her teacher took the stand and tried to apologize to her, a move that violated court protocol because he wasn’t supposed to speak to his victims.
Michelle says that if the middle school had reported him right away, she could’ve been spared from all this trauma. Now, her teacher will be in prison for about 33 years. He will not be released until she is 52 years old.
Her story of incredible bravery and justice resonated deeply with several TikTok users, and they shared their own stories of teacher misconduct in schools.

“My choir teacher just got arrested for indecent exposure with a child. We tried to tell the school over 21 years ago that he was creepy and hated when we would talk to guys, like called us names and everything,” commented one user.
“The music teacher at my sister’s old middle school got arrested for the same thing. Why always the music people? Because I also had a creepy choir teacher who did similar things, but he retired and moved states,” shared another.
“In my high school, it happened with the freshman U.S. History teacher from 2014 to 2016. He was dating a female student who was under 18, and he got arrested in sophomore year, even lost his teaching career,” added a third.
