## Resource

A former teacher in Palmyra, Cody Pester, pleaded guilty to sexual abuse by a school employee after a years-long inappropriate relationship with a former student—now 18—who graduated in May 2025. The pair exchanged over 13,000 calls between May and January, when Pester was arrested. Though the student was no longer enrolled, state law forbids any sexual contact within 90 days of graduation. Pester was suspended immediately, faces up to two years in prison, and may be required to register as a sex offender. His sentencing is scheduled for September 14th—a stark warning about the trust placed in educators and the severe consequences when it’s betrayed.
