The case came to light earlier this month after Franklin County Sheriff A.J. Smith assigned a staffer to monitor the video chats of inmates at the local lockup.
video review of their prior calls revealed Barber was having similarly explicit video conferences with Ray — some from her school office during the workday, according to Smith.
The sheriff released a Facebook video outlining his concerns with inappropriate communications between prisoners and their visitors earlier this month, highlighting Barber’s case
Smith said an ex of Ray’s who was unaware of his relationship with Barber had entered the chat at one point and the dialogue spun out of control.
While the local state attorney concluded there were no grounds for criminal charges, Barber’s employer launched a probe after Smith released the video.
The school was initially unaware the misconduct took place on campus and later widened its investigation after learning that had been the case.
