Teacher Katie Hightower, 26, had sex with teen boy after buying four students beer and taking them back to her house

Katie Megan Hightower, 26, was charged on accusations that she engaged in sexual activity with a student and provided alcohol to other minors

A high school teacher has been accused of having sex with one of her students and providing alcohol for a group of others.

Prue High School teacher Katie Megan Hightower, 26, from Oklahoma, was arrested on Wednesday on charges of second-degree rape and fuishing alcohol to minors.

Pawnee County prosecutors have alleged that she and four Prue High School students arranged to meet at her home following a football scrimmage on August 17.

They are said to have first had a party at a nearby lake for which Hightower supplied them with pizza and beer from the local Walmart.

They then went to the teacher's house where she allegedly had sex with the 16-year-old while the other students drank beer downstairs.

According to Tulsa World, after the other student became bored, they went to knock on the bedroom door to inform Hightower and the boy they were leaving but stopped after 'hearing the sound of them having sex', court documents state.

Hightower said she did buy beer and pizza but that the beer was not for the students. She also denied that the boy had driven her car.

The 16-year-old told deputies when he was interviewed that he had drank alcohol at the lake but denied going into the teacher's home.

He said he had friends pick him up as soon as they arrived at the house. He also denied receiving calls and text messages from Hightower, but later admitted it when presented with phone records.

A follow-up investigation revealed that the teacher and the boy exchanged 561 text messages in addition to several multimedia messages throughout August, authorities said.
