    In nearby Tillman County, authorities recently charged another teacher with three counts of second-degree rape involving a student. Laura Cowan, who started teaching in 2010 and most recently worked at Tipton Public Schools, resigned April 15.

    • Case against her was dropped in December, but a judge allowed prosecutors to refile charges
    A former Oklahoma teacher has been charged with rape for allegedly having sex with at least two of her students last year. Laura Cowan, 35, of Frederick, was charged last Wednesday with three counts of second degree rape. The same charges were filed against the former Tipton Public Schools educator last July, but in early December a judge threw out the case against Cowan after key witnesses could not be found by the prosecution.

    Former Tipton Public Schools teacher, Laura Cowan, is scheduled for a jury trial beginning March 15, 2016. As previously reported, Cowan was accused of sexual misconduct with two of her students. She was charged with three counts of Rape in the Second Degree in July of 2014.
    The charges were then dismissed in Dec. of 2014 because the Tillman County Assistant District Attorney, Deanna Hansell reported, she was unable to locate the two witnesses/victims. Hansell explained the accused,” Has the right to face her accusers.”
    Early in 2015, the charges were refiled as the A.D.A. was able to locate the two witnesses according to court records filed in Tillman County. Cowan is represented by Attorney Ken Sue Doerfel of Lawton.

    FREDERICK - A jury trial that was set to begin Tuesday has been stricken from the docket for a former Tipton High School teacher accused of having sexual relationships with students.
    The trial for Laura Cowan, 36, of Frederick was stricken by request of her attorney, Ken Sue Doerfel of Lawton. A status date for Cowan has been scheduled for 10 a.m. May 6 in Tillman County District Court.
    Cowan is charged with three counts of second-degree rape. She was originally charged in July 2014, several months after she resigned as a teacher in the Tipton school district. The charges were dropped following a preliminary hearing Dec. 9, 2014, after two witnesses failed to appear for the second time following issuance of subpoenas on Nov. 24 and Dec. 5 of 2014. Charges were re-filed Jan. 21, 2015 after those witnesses responded to subpoenas.
    Cowan had voluntarily resigned from her teaching position during the 2013-2014 school year after district officials were informed that she violated the district's social media policy.
