    Gooding High teacher arrested on allegations of sexual battery of a student

    A Gooding High School employee and coach was arrested Friday and accused of sexually abusing a student. Ann Kuroki, 26, faces eight felony counts of sexual battery of a minor child. She is the second Magic Valley teacher to be accused of having sex with a student in the past two weeks. Kuroki was arrested after the Gooding Police Department was told about inappropriate behavior with a male student, the department said in a statement. The student is 16 or 17 years old.



    After initially denying allegations, Kuroki admitted to police she'd had sex with the student six times at her house "starting in late November or early December" and bought him alcohol twice, according to a police affidavit.


    An investigation began Wednesday and is ongoing, according to police. Kuroki was fired Thursday from the Gooding School District "due to other findings uncovered while conducting their own internal investigation," police said. She was arraigned Monday in Gooding County Magistrate Court. At Gooding High, Kuroki was a classified, at-will employee "meaning she wasn't a certified teacher" and was hired last school year. She monitored the Idaho Digital Learning Academy lab, where students take online classes. She also coached junior varsity boys basketball. "Our first concern in the Gooding School District is for students and their safety," Superintendent Spencer Larsen told ...



    A police affidavit gives this account of what happened:

    During a couple of interviews with police, the boy denied ever having physical contact or a sexual relationship with Kuroki, and said he’d never been to her house.

    After obtaining a search warrant, police searched Kuroki’s house Friday, and seized three cell phones, bedding and a card with a handwritten note given to Kuroki by the boy.

    On Friday, Gooding police officer Sabrina Becker received a missed call and text messages from the boy’s mother saying Kuroki had come to her house to talk about her relationship with the boy.

    The mother texted Becker: “I have Ann with me and I am taking her to the station. She’s going to confess…” They both arrived at the Gooding Police Department.

    When questioned by police, Kuroki told them her communication with the boy began after she’d received a message that was “kind of flirty” from the boy over the summer — probably, in July — after she’d posted a picture on Instagram.

    They began talking again in August when school started.

    It was a normal teacher-student relationship at first, she said. But after the boy asked for her help editing his senior paper via Google Docs, they communicated through that platform.

    Around November, “she started breaking down with her resolve to keep things professional with (the boy),” Becker wrote in the affidavit. “Kuroki stated she was nicer to him, she did not send him to the office nearly as much and they started talking more. Kuroki told me their messages became a lot flirtier.”

    She told police she was “boozing” pretty heavy one night when the boy sent her an Instagram message. She asked him to pick her up from the Sidetrack Bar.

    She said they drove around for a while, and then he took her home and left.

    South Idaho high school employee charged with sexual battery

    A Gooding High School employee and coach was arrested Friday and accused of sexually abusing a student. Ann Kuroki, 26, faces eight felony counts of sexual battery of a minor child. She is the second Magic Valley teacher to be accused of having sex with a student in the past two weeks. Kuroki was arrested after the Gooding Police Department was told about inappropriate behavior with a male student, the department said in a statement. The student is 16 or 17 years old. After initially denying allegations, Kuroki admitted to police she’d had sex with the student six times at ...



    In mid-December, they were making out and “messing around” with sexual touching at her house, Kuroki told police, but said they didn’t have sex.

    “Kuroki told me she had second thoughts about their relationship at this time and she broke up with him,” Becker wrote.

    The boy was upset and very apologetic, and wrote a note saying he loved her. Kuroki said it killed her to know she “wrecked him.”

    They met during Christmas break, and Kuroki apologized to him and tried to explain the situation. He kept trying to get back together with her.

    After Christmas break, rumors were flying about their relationship, and Kuroki lied when questioned by the school principal and superintendent because she was scared.

    She got the boy’s mother’s phone number off the school records system and called her to meet to talk about the rumors.

    The boy’s mother recorded Kuroki’s voluntary confession to her, when Kuroki admitted to having sex with the boy and buying alcohol for him.

    After being questioned again by police, Kuroki admitted to having sex with the boy six times at her house, starting in late November to early December, and buying alcohol for him twice.

    Two school employees facing sex crimes charges; in both cases communication with teen victims began via social media

    Ask almost any teacher or school administrator and they’ll tell you they get Facebook friend requests from students. But Idaho school districts and the state discourage — and often prohibit — that kind of communication. Educators want to be friendly, personable and create positive connections with students, said Brady Dickinson, superintendent of the Twin Falls School District. Conversations on social media can start out innocently, he said, but can lead to problems. “You just have to be more careful than that. Most teachers are just going to avoid it all together.” But within the past three weeks, two Magic Valley ...


    Jason Lee Benjamin, 39, of Twin Falls, who was most recently a math teacher at Robert Stuart Middle School, was arrested Dec. 28. He’s accused of rape. Prosecutors say Benjamin admitted to having sex with a 17-year-old student he taught at Canyon Ridge High School. He and the victim reconnected this fall, when the former student added Benjamin on Facebook, according to a police affidavit.


    Less than two weeks after Benjamin’s arrest, 26-year-old Gooding High School employee Ann Kuroki was arrested Jan. 5 on eight felony counts of sexual battery of a minor child. After initially denying allegations, Kuroki admitted to police she’d had sex with a 16- or 17-year-old student six times at her house and bought him alcohol twice, according to a police affidavit. Kuroki, who monitored the Idaho Digital Learning Academy lab and coached junior varsity boys basketball, initially communicated with the student via Instagram. Generally, in cases of misconduct, the educator involved knows they’re doing something they’re not supposed to, Dickinson ...
