The court document states: “The messages that were reviewed by investigators were determined… not to be of a legitimate purpose and were not school-related.” A number of FaceTime calls that allegedly occurred “multiple times in the late evening hours” were uncovered by the parents. The court document said: “It appears the above [Flores] was attempting to manipulate the minor and expressed feelings of love and admiration more so than just a student-teacher relationship. Most read in The Sun “It was also determined that they met in secret before a school function, outside of school, that [Flores] was not directly a part of, but lived in close proximity to the event.” Flores was married in 2022 and has a baby daughter. Announcing the pregnancy in 2024, the expectant mother said: “We are so grateful God chose us to be parents to this sweet baby.” Flores recently shared pictures of her daughter posing in front of church signs, just weeks before she was arrested at her workplace. It remains unclear at this time if she was still teaching the first grade when she was arrested. In a statement, the sheriff’s office said: “25-year-old Sadie M.
