Cell phone captures sex acts with child
Child exploitation charges filed after case manager finds images
By KEN de la BASTIDE
Tribune enterprise editor
A Kokomo High School student was arrested Thursday at the Kinsey Youth Center on 10 counts of child exploitation for reportedly taking sexually explicit photographs on a cell phone.
According to Major Steve Rogers with the Howard County Sheriff’s Department, the 17-year-old was attending a therapy session with Latisha Rumsey, a case manager, and a random cell phone search was conducted.
During the routine search, Rumsey discovered several explicit pictures on the cell phone, Rogers said. When asked who was in the pictures the 17-year-old said they were of himself and a 16-year-old girl.
Deputy Larry Sparks looked at the cell phone and found 10 pictures of various sex acts and poses, according to a police report. The juvenile was informed that he was being charged with 10 counts of child exploitation, a class C felony.
While at the Kinsey Youth Center, the cell phone rang and was answered by a deputy with the sheriff’s department. The caller was the alleged victim.
The police report states the officer then met with the alleged victim and her father and they were told the 17-year-old was being charged. The deputy told the girl that several pictures were found on the cell phone. The father told police that he was aware sexual activity was taking place between the two teenagers.
The girl told police she knew about the pictures and had forgiven him.
The Prosecutor’s Office will determine if the youth will be charged as an adult.
If convicted on the class C felony charges, the teenager could face a maximum eight-year prison sentence on each count

A ‘way cool’ teacher
3rd-graders in Fishers cheer

FISHERS, Ind. — Taking a test while lying on the floor is nothing unusual for students in Anna Shults’ third-grade class at Fall Creek Elementary School.
Sometimes they sit on a windowsill during exams, or rest on a pillow.
Shults’ creative ways — she also makes up rap songs to help students remember spelling words and organizes scavenger hunts for geometrical shapes — helped propel the 31-year-old educator to the status of Indiana’s top teacher Thursday.
Students and colleagues, however, also cited Shults’ caring ways.
“Sometimes she gives us extra recess when we are good,” said Haley Butler, 8. “She is pretty and the best teacher in the world!”
Shults is now
Shults was chosen from 47 educators from public and private schools across
Shults went to the gymnasium with other teachers and students, thinking she’d hear a seminar by an education expert.
But the program quickly turned into big cheers for Shults as Suellen Reed, state superintendent of public instruction, presented $1,000 from Indiana Farm Bureau and scholarship offers from
“For this teacher, teaching is not just a career or a job — it’s a passion,” Reed said.
“At the end of the school year, she has her students write a letter to the students who will be in her class next year. Some of the letters said she is ‘way cool.’ They said she is flexible, caring, energetic, accepting of all students. Some said she was ‘goofy,’ ” Reed said, then chuckled.
Shults joined Fall Creek Elementary as a student teacher in 1996 and has been there ever since.
The
“Every student learns in his or her own little way, and it’s my job to tap into that,” she said. “I try to make each activity meaningful.”
Shults cannot recall a dull moment as a teacher.
“Every day is different. I feed off the enthusiasm and excitement of kids and just the ability to do what I love,” she said. “It’s an everyday passion that is extremely rewarding.”
Shults’ husband, Brian, teaches science at
“Their minds are like little sponges,” she said. “They are on fire to learn. And they are not into cliques and popularity.
“And, selfishly thinking, they still think their teacher is cool.”
