Kuna Middle School teacher pleads guilty to enticing child, lewd conduct with minor
A Kuna Middle School teacher has admitted that he sexually assaulted a teenager.
According to a news release from the Ada County Prosecutor’s Office, 51-year-old Cory Gaylor pleaded guilty Thursday to two felonies: lewd conduct with a minor child under 16 and enticing a child over the internet. He was previously charged with another count of lewd conduct and the sexual abuse of a minor.
Ada County Prosecuting Attorney Juan Beltran during a hearing said that Gaylor used a school program on his tablet to entice the teenager into meeting him in December, when they had “oral and anal sex,” the Idaho Statesman previously reported. Gaylor was arrested in December after the victim’s mother contacted police.
“The defendant held a position of trust and used that as a tool to entice and have these relations with the victim,” Beltran said.
The Nampa resident taught Spanish at Kuna Middle School since the 2019 school year, Kuna School District spokesperson Allison Westfall previously said in an email. The district placed Gaylor on administrative leave, adding in a statement that he “will not return to teaching in our school or district pending the resolution of the charges against him.”
The Ada County Sheriff’s Office previously declined to say whether the victim was Gaylor’s student.
Gaylor is expected to be sentenced at 3 p.m. Sept. 14 at the Ada County Courthouse, online court records showed. He could face up to life in prison, according to the prosecutor’s office.
