According to authorities, a onetime Oklahoma high school teacher and track coach, raped a teenage student at his home in 2019.
On Friday, Brandon Neal, 34, of Bixby, who resigned from Broken Arrow High School, turned himself in to police on an arrest warrant charging him with second-degree rape and sexual battery.
Neal and the unidentified student began a month-long sexual relationship in December of 2019 after they saw each other at The Bodymasters Fitness gym in Bixby.
Neal pleaded not guilty and was released on a $100,000 bond.
The teen came forward and stated, “Back in 2019, Neal touched me sexually while moving my body while I was laying on a table.”
Then, on Dec. 26, 2019, she told police she went to Neal’s home in Bixby where they had sex.
Neal’s wife and daughter were away at the time.
The allegations came to light on Jan. 7, 2020, when the girl and her mother reported it to the Broken Arrow Police Department.
The girl told police that she and Neal allegedly kept in touch over Snapchat.
But the next day, the girl denied having a sexual relationship with Neal when police questioned her at school. She refused to let authorities look at her phone.
Neal also denied having a sexual relationship with the teen, but did give police access to his phone after he spoke to detectives on Jan. 8, 2020.
Neal resigned that day, according to Broken Arrow Public Schools.
On Jan. 10, police obtained a warrant for the teen’s phone after seeing video of her going to Neal’s class right after talking to police and speaking to him in the hallway.
The case stalled in April 2020 when the girl refused to cooperate and police allegedly found no evidence on Snapchat accounts belonging to her and Neal.
More than a year later, on May 6, 2021, the case became active again when the teen went back to police and stated she and Neal did have a sexual relationship that lasted from December 2019 to Jan. 7, 2020.
She claimed to police that she had burned everything on her Snapchat account. She also said, “I waited to come forward because I was afraid of him.”
Court records show that as part of Neal’s bond conditions, he is not allowed to have any contact with the teen or to be employed by any gym or as a personal trainer.
Police are still trying to investigate whether the relationship was consensual, the girl was really raped, or if the story is completely fabricated.
Sorry but this story sounds like a bunch of BS. “We had sex, we didn’t. He raped me, he didn’t…”
Then a year later, “we had sex…”
Gtfoh
Teachers are usually members of the demonRAT party. That explains a lot. Hell the guy sitting in the oval office is a pedophile.
Your goofy comment DOESN’T make sense! A pedophile/sex offender is NOT political party specific!
Exactly
Your views are tainted. I feel sorry for you. You are still believing the Big Lie and following along with it and it’s tainted views ie. lies.
To be fair how often do we hear from fake rape victims that are democrats, not exactly a great argument
Trump? Yes, trumptard is UNDENIABLY a certified pedo. You don’t have a 3 DECADE long relationship with Epstein and not have engaged in child rape.
You sound about as dumb as your beliefs! I’m a teacher and most of my peers vote Republican. You believe that being a part of a union means we just blindly vote Democratic! I feel sorry for you and I’m sure your former teachers do to! You didn’t issue a single sympathetic word for the ALLEGED victim yet sprouting off on your usual political tirade. Maybe you live and work like you vote but most of this country doesn’t!!!!!
You’re wrong and should retract your statement.
With the way she’s changing her story and not cooperating, I’m more inclined to believe it was consensual and he may have tried to stop it. A teenage girl scorned can and will ruin you.
I agree with Laura’s statement. This isn’t about politics. The Teacher was an adult and knew what he was doing. Based on what the articles stated, the girl did change her story either from her parent’s pressure on her to do so, or she was scorned. This was consensual, however, each teacher, upon entering the teaching profession, assumes a number of obligations, one of which is to adhere to a set of principles which defines professional conduct. These principles are reflected in the following code of ethics, which sets forth to the education profession and the public it serves standards of professional conduct and procedures for implementation. This code shall apply to all persons licensed according to rules established by the Board of Teaching.
Yup! She’s scorned……GUILTY !
Yup! He’s such a scumbag……GUILTY!
Just give her money.
all rapist should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law if guilty Problem is they are smeared as guilty as soon as thw women screams rape Later if found innocent its too late Their life has already been ruined Definately not innocent until proven guilty
He is Disgusting irregardless he had sex with a teenage kid……
Didn’t say that he had sex so unless you were there your making shit up and fabricating a story
Sir, what part or raped a sexual assault and month long sexual relationship did you not see? Or the admission of the girl herself? Just wondering. Now I for one do not know the truth for I did not see it with my own eyes and as my comment said it just says teenager. So we don’t know if statutory rape is in order here. If it were I think it would be in the article. I also don’t think an older man with a younger woman, if indeed she was of the age of consent for their state, is a disgusting thing as the person you were replying to seems to think . But maybe the idea of the word teenager is bringing up ideation of a 23 or 14 yr old and therefore can be understood. I just found it hard to believe you missed all the references to sexual conduct. Have a blessed day!
Teenager. Not teen kid! 18 and 19 are teenagers. And not disgusting. Most young people these days are sexually active long before this. If she consented it was probably not her first time nor did she have a determination to remain a virgin til marriage. People should read looking only at the bare facts and not read into the article something it does not say and then jump to a conclusion based on error and judge another human being for something that might not be true.
he may be but about all these females teachers f ing the high school men
All I have to say is…damn he is handsome.
If I was the teacher I would sue this fake article author!!! The headlines SCREAMS he raped a teen, yet as you read further on even the police are confused as to what really happened!!! What happened to innocent until PROVEN guilty!
Yes I would to u can’t just label people for views then say the story when it’s completely different.I honestly think they had relationship ,then mom found out carried her to file charges.
Okay, bottom line. Teacher was married. Article says teenage. This would include 18 and 19. The age of consent in most states. Georgia has the age 16. So we don’t know if statutory rape is a valid charge and are not told. If she was underage and sexual relations were proven then no matter what the other circumstances, he is guilty and should be punished to the full extent of the law. If she was on age and the sex was consensual then even though he is an adulterer, there is no law broken. So I said all that to say this. Any of you who.have already become judge, jury and executioner without these necessary details being known have made a grave error in your judgment. And as for the fact he is older anf she is young, to the person who judge him perverse. I will tell you that in other countries it is common practice to marry women in their early teens and those marriages last much longer even for life in most cases, while our “proper” marriages in this country fall apart more times than not. This is because girls are raised to be wives and mothers in the older nations. While in this nation we have ruined the family unit and it’s chance to be a long and blessed union. Due to the women now being raised to be anything but wives and mothers and the men are raised to be selfish and think of only their desires and not put their wives anf children before their own desires. So you see, virginity til marriage is considered a old fashioned and prudish way of life. Women staying home to be wives and mothers is a thing of the past for they too are focused on their ownndesires and not their families. What then do we expect if a middle aged teacher is attracted to a young desirable and apparently available student. And the widely accepted practice of fornication and adultery is the norm and enters the relationship? I wouldn’t do this myself because I consider it wrong before God. But most do not even care about that even if they claim to be religious. So this is all I havevto say. 1, you do not have enough information to make a rational decision, therefore should have no opinion to express unless you are stupid and think you know more than you possibly can. 3. The norm for today is just what happened so why get upset over something that happens every day. Just because you have opportunity to open your mouth and let your opinion be made known. How sad you have nothing of real value to do with your time.(I do this on purpose to correct people in error In order for them to realize what they obviously have not noticed on their own in their tiny little minds. 3. If that offends you. All I can say is “You are very welcome ” it’s what I do. Thank you for your
If the young woman was 17 or younger it is rape whether consensual or not!
