The student said Sims accepted a friend request the student sent her on Snapchat.
On Aug. 22, the student and Sims began talking about hooking up in Cave City to have sex, the deputy wrote in a citation.
A detective said that the student played a recording of that call for him, according to People.
“A female is heard on the call asking if the juvenile is coming to meet with her when the call begins,” the detective wrote.
The student said a video call followed that was not recorded.
“The juvenile stated that in the video call he was able to see her exposed breast as she was nude in the shower,” the detective wrote.
“I also learned there were others present when this call was made and they also stated they could see the above female’s breast in the call,” he wrote.
According to WBKO, Sims told deputies a different version of events.
She said that while she was a substitute teacher, several boys tried to connect with her on social media, but she did not accept any requests.
Sims admitted to being the female in the recorded call, but said her goal on arranging a meeting was to allow him to apologize for “the way he had acted in class,” the citation said.
Sims said the two never met and nothing physical ever took place.
Travis B. Lock, who is representing Sims, said she will plead not guilty to the charge, according to People.
“As with almost all matters that make their way into the criminal justice system, there is certainly much more information than that which has been reported at this juncture,” he said.
Sims was released from jail after posting $25,000 bond, according to WCLU-FM.
