    Palko had told school officials that he received photos from the girl, but none of them showed her nude, police said. He volunteered a cell phone that showed he had sent text messages to the girl and received texts from her, police said. The girl admitted sending a nude photo of herself to Palko after he asked for it, police said. The girl said she would meet Palko in the back room of the art class and showed him her tattoos, one under her breast, one on her back and one below her stomach, police said. Palko would hug the girl from behind and rub her stomach, police said. The girl asked Palko if he would cheat on his wife to have sex with a student, police said.

    The girl and her parents consented to having her phone searched by the state police computer crime lab, and an analyst found text and Twitter messages between the girl and Palko from November through January, police said. After officials started investigating, Palko texted the girl and told her what to say if questioned by school administrators, police said. He also told her to delete the photo, police said.
