When TikToker Aislinn (@lonely_protest228) was in high school, between the ages of 14 and 16, she was in a relationship with one of her teachers. His name is Reagan, according to Aislinn, and he lives in Port Neches, Texas.
She was not his first or even second victim. The victim previous to her had graduated the year before she showed up for her freshman year.
The only reason that the relationship had ended was that the girl had gotten too old, and his wife, who was an elementary school teacher, found out about it. His wife did not report the crime, even though she was a mandatory reporter.
When Aislinn’s mom found out about his relationship with Aislinn, she did the right thing and filed a police report. He was sentenced to six or eight years in prison, but he only served four years because he pleaded guilty.
There was a lot of evidence against him, yet his family and half of the community rallied around him. Even more shocking, his wife also chose to stay with him.
He got out of prison in 2017 or 2018 and still lives in the same area. Aislinn lives right down the street in the area as well.
Thankfully, she has only seen him twice since he was released from prison.
Obviously, he can no longer work as a teacher, so he has taken up odd jobs, such as managing an apartment complex and helping to manage a restaurant.
Most recently, he has been running audio equipment for various events. Aside from his wife being an elementary school teacher, she is also a part-time teacher at a very popular local dance studio.

So, he runs the sound for dance practices and recitals that are full of children ranging from toddlers to teenagers.
The wife and the owner of the dance studio are both okay with him being there, even though they know what he went to prison for. Additionally, the community knows that many parents are continuing to send their kids to this dance studio.
The dance studio is Keely Jardell’s School of Dance in Nederland, Texas. It’s chilling to see how abusers can still find themselves in proximity to children, even after facing serious criminal consequences.
