Brycelyn Haughey is a resident of Toledo, Tama County, and a former paraeducator for the school district. From September to December 2020, she is accused of engaging in sexual activity with a 17-year-old kid.

Likewise, Haughey’s trial has not yet been set. Sexual exploitation by a school employee is a Class D felony under California law, and it is punishable by up to five years in prison if convicted. It can result in a five-year prison sentence and a fine of up to $10,245.
Brycelyn Haughey Age And Bio
Brycelyn Haughey’s current age is 22 years old.
According to the Sun-Courier newspaper in Reinbeck, the school system started to investigate Haughey after she resigned from her position on Sept. 23.
On the webpage for South Tama County Elementary School, Haughey is identified as a preschool and special education paraprofessional.
Before her resignation, Brycelyn was the head varsity volleyball coach at GMG High School for the 2020–21 school year and into 2021–2022. The charges against Haughey, however, appear to be unrelated to her work as a coach, according to court filings.
Brycelyn Haughey An inappropriate activity with a student
According to the student, he met Haughey in September 2020 and exchanged phone numbers after bumping her vehicle while backing out of the school parking lot. Haughey’s car was meant to be fixed by the student.
The student went on to say that when Brycelyn asked how old he was, he replied that he was 17 years old. Brycelyn then inquired as to whether the student was a senior, but he said that he was not.
Following that, the student received flirty texts from Haughey, which he ignored since he assumed she was joking. Then, on September 25, 2020, Haughey invited him to her home. When he came, she was with a girl who was younger than he was.
And per the student, he started consuming alcohol with Haughey and the girl. Later that night, he and Haughey had their first sexual affair.
The student and Haughey continued to meet, drink, and have sex after that, and Haughey sent several “seductive” images of herself, including one in which she was naked. The relationship, however, ended in December 2020.
