Spanish teacher and track coach Sarah Porter, 24, has been charged with sexual assault on a child by someone in a position of trust and sexual exploitation of children.
A high school teacher from Colorado has been charged with sexually assaulting her male student, threatening him, and sending X-rated photos and videos on Snapchat.
Sarah Porter, 24, a Spanish teacher and assistant track coach at Arapahoe High School, was arrested last Friday after police received an anonymous tip claiming that the woman had kissed a 16-year-old student.
The alleged victim later told investigators that Porter, who was his coach, had forced herself on him and threatened him if he rejected her sexual advances, according to an arrest affidavit cited by CBS Denver.
The boy also claimed that Porter had sent him nude photos and a video showing his teacher pleasuring herself.
Porter was booked into the county jail on charges of sexual assault on a child by someone in a position of trust and sexual exploitation of children.

Porter has taught at the school since August 2018 and also worked as an assistant track coach
According to her LinkedIn profile, Porter has a Master’s degree in education from the University of Colorado at Denver. She was hired as a teacher at Arapahoe High School in August 2018.
Prior to that, she had taught Spanish, and worked as assistant track and field and cross country coach at D’Evelyn Jr/Sr High School.
According to the affidavit, Porter started sending messages to the 16-year-old Arapahoe High student via Snapchat during track practice.
The boy described the educator eight years his senior as very ‘touchy’ and attentive to his training.
Porter was quoted in an arrest affidavit as warning the alleged victim during the assault that if he resisted, ‘I will do something’
About a week later, Porter led the student from track practice to an office to get a uniform, and while there, she switched off the lights and ‘grabbed him,’ according to the court documents.
The woman was quoted as warning the boy that if he resisted, ‘I will do something.’
Porter then allegedly proceeded to kiss the minor, attempted to pull down his pants and grabbed him.
However, the alleged assault was interrupted when another coach messaged Porter, possibly about a meeting.
When confronted about her conduct, Porter allegedly told a social worker that she and the student ‘did everything leading to’ having sex in her office, but did not have a sexual intercourse.
During his interview with the police, the student-athlete claimed that the teacher also sent him videos showing her masturbating and X-rated photos.
Porter was placed on administrative leave a day before her arrest. Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert said in a letter to students and parents that Porter will not be returning to the school, and a substitute teacher will replace her.
