Explicit Video Spreads At High School, Exposes Grooming Triangle Of 2 Female Teachers and 1 Boy

0:28Insurance isn't just one size fits all. Javier Bardem, Academy Award nominee Amy Adams, and Emmy nominee Patrick Wilson. A storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna and Tom Bowden when Max Cady, the notorious killer they are responsible for putting behind bars, is let out of prison. And he wants vengeance. There is nothing quite devastating like a high school love triangle. It is the synopsis of many a book talk books, two people fighting over one love interest. It's probably what the quote All's Fair in Love and War is inspired by, especially when two people are fighting over the popular quarterback to the high school football team.

1:09There are trilogy long sagas of real life instances where people have confessed to the craziest high school love triangles years down the line. One netizen, OP, the original poster, she gets a call from her old high school crush. They're so much older now. In fact, this old high school crush is about to get married to his high school girlfriend, but he's calling her and he's drunk. He's confessing his love to her instead. And he's saying things like, I know you never want me because back in high school, you rejected me. And this is all right before his wedding. But what's crazier is the original poster OP is like, what are you talking about?

1:45I never rejected you in high school. Back in high school, when they were all friends, this guy had asked his now soon to be wife to tell the original poster, hey, I have a crush on her. Can you tell her and let her know? And this girl, the soon-to-be wife decides, I'm actually not gonna tell her that. And I'm just gonna tell you that she rejected you and I'm gonna swoop in and start dating you instead. And now she is going to be the one walking down the aisle with him. Which, I mean, I don't know how someone would even feel if they find out the truth years down the line. I don't know if that changes him wanting to get married or not.

2:19Do you still get married? all over this like high school love triangle. People do crazy stuff when their frontal lobe is not fully developed. And in high school, everything means something. Like who you sit next to in the cafeteria, whose hoodie you're wearing, whose locker you're standing by between class. I hate high school. Dating becomes very territorial in high school. People decorate their crush's lockers. They'll wear the jersey numbers to the high school football games. Look at the little candy canes delivered to them during Christmas. but even if a high school relationship withstands all of this drama, it almost always ends up with everyone separating because of college, which is why letters like these are written to the quarterback of the high school football team.

3:02I'm glad to have you as someone who I think will be in my life for a while. And this is a real note. This is very pertinent. Even if we don't talk all the time or even at all when you're in college, I feel like our little bond will always be there. So just hit me when you want to go get wasted at a bar together and I'll send you my wedding invite one day. I know you're a nostalgic AF, so I hope you look back at our time as a good one. And no, this isn't like me saying goodbye, but like I know things are gonna be different. Like bro, you were the first person who got me to smoke weed. You're always gonna have that title.

3:33So we're locked in for real. And maybe one day we'll be able to go to the aquarium. I'm here whenever, even though you never say it back. I love you and I wish you all the best. Always love HB. This letter never gets delivered to the high school crush. Instead, it's found crumpled up in a kitchen trash can during a search warrant for Haley Beck's apartment. Because this letter is not between two high school lovebirds who are in love and their students that are separating for college. This letter is written by a 27-year-old teacher at Centennial High School who is caught grooming her student.

4:28We would like to thank today's sponsors who have made it possible for Rotten Mingo to support the Joyful Heart Foundation, who are working to transform society's response to SADVCA and support survivors healing with resources like education, advocacy and policy change. this episode's partnerships have also made it possible to support Rotten Mango's growing team and we'd also like to thank you guys for your continued support as always full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com today's case involves mentions of grooming predators in particular positions of power harassment CSA please take care while watching today's episode take a break put this on pause if you need to we will see you back in the next episode this episode is also currently ongoing and so any information will be up to the date of publishing and because there's no verdicts as of now and not even charges.

5:12All allegations are speculative, currently being investigated, and or only consist of publicly available information online. We did FOIA request this case, so we did receive like a 200-page police document. I will say, because there are no charges, there will be times where I'm quoting things from this police document or I'm quoting other people talking about and referencing this police document. there's lots of labels of what this crime was some people are using the words like relationship and sex but i just want to make it abundantly clear this is none of those things in my opinion i think this is just a sex crime i don't think that this is sex or a relationship i think this is grooming i think this is predatory behavior and i think it's a crime i think it's sexual assault but because there are lots of people who reference it like that likely because the victim is a male student.

6:04It's not me advocating for that. I'm just saying. So with that being said, let's get into it. Every high school has some sort of open secret. Married teachers are having affairs with each other. One netizen writes, quote, two PE teachers, one male and one female, they would vanish at the same time every day. She got pregnant. Her husband was also a teacher at our school. And like the whole building pretended we didn't know that that's not his baby. Which is a pretty common theme, another netizen writes, two teachers had an affair and the woman's husband came to the school during lunch and beat the shit out of the other teacher in the hallway.

6:41The kids were filming it, but both teachers kept their jobs. And then it becomes one of those things that nobody really talks about openly anymore. Married parents of students are having affairs with other married parents, perhaps with a married teacher. One person stated that their high school had this weird open secret. The football coach was having a very public affair with one of the player's moms. She was at every practice, every game, always in his office. His wife was also a teacher at the school. And like the whole town knew. Another student says, our principal was sleeping with at least two different students' moms.

7:15He would schedule parent conferences during school hours. Like his secretary knew, his whole office staff knew, everyone knew. He eventually got promoted to district administrator. Yeah. Open secrets about how seriously everyone seems to take high school sports is a huge thing. like one principal who would change her own son's grades so that he could play football. This is a common thing. One faculty member writes, the star quarterback had a GPA of 0.8. 0.8. Literally failing every class. But every quarter, his grades would magically adjust just enough so that he could play football. Every teacher knew it.

7:51Nobody was allowed to talk about it. Or another, best player in our school basketball team got caught breaking into cars and robbing them, was kicked off the basketball team after they found his car full of all the valuables that were stolen. Half into the season, we're at the bottom. So the coach and the principal work out a deal and they get him back in. He ends up playing. We still lost, though. This one isn't as much of a secret as it is a crime, but someone writes, the male science teacher had a camera in the faculty woman's bathroom. Yeah. But Centennial High School in Arizona, their open secret would start making national news.

8:27Centennial High School is one of the entire state's premier athletic schools, particularly in football. So their team has won at least eight state championships. It's a heavy football school, meaning Friday nights, you drive by Centennial High School, it's going to be packed. Everybody's talking about what they're wearing to the game, who's playing, who's that. Everyone knows all the players, their numbers, all the players and their parents. Then the rest of the weekend, if you go to the best spots in town, like if you go Saturday brunch, you are going to run into people rehashing Friday night's game while eating brunch and it's just high school football like it's that serious and I grew up in the south so like I get high school football and there is something much darker going on in Centennial High School than just football it starts off more like an open secret it's like a rumor nobody has proof but it just feels weird when student says there was just things about the school that just kept getting swept under the rug Look, I don't know the specifics, but everyone's heard the rumors.

9:22Like there was this male Spanish teacher that was very friendly and flirty with the girls students last year. I don't know if anything happened, but he was fired before anything came up. And this is a real witness, a real student saying this to the police. Then there's the girls soccer coach and psychology teacher. She's just kind of weird with her students, specifically her male students. She seems like one of those teachers that hates her female students, but loves her male students, which is concerning. right? But she would just do this thing where she would constantly call out members of the football team, kids, students, out of their classes and then bring them to her classroom and like just hang out with them.

9:59I don't know. It's weird. Or she's constantly doing favors for them. She would let them leave the school campus to get food, which is generally not allowed. At some point, the other students and even some of their older, already graduated siblings are confused. Their parents are getting word of this. After hearing all of these rumors, one of the students decides to just ask one of the football players, like you're always around the psychology teacher. Like, is that teacher being weird with you? Is something weird? Because I heard something weird going on. He responds really cryptically. You'd have to ask the teacher that like, I'm not saying anything.

10:30What does that mean? Like, as in there's something to say, but you don't want to say it. But there is one student whose name keeps getting brought up in all of this with rumors about the psychology teacher. He's a football player. And we're going to be referring to him as Alex for the rest of the episode, that is not his real name. Anyone who is under 18 or even 18, but as a student, I'm not using any of their real names. Alex, just a fake name, like I said, but yeah, there's just like a rumor between Alex. Like he's always around the psychology teacher. If you see her in the hallway, she always wants to be near him.

11:03It's, I don't know. It's just sometimes he'll be in her classroom when it's not even his class. And that's not to say that Alex is strange. The teacher is the only strange one here in this scenario, but it's odd to the point that people called her out on it. And she states that the only reason her and Alex are so close is because they're like siblings. He's like her brother, which I feel like when you hear people calling someone, Oh, that's like my brother. There's only three ways this goes. Okay. A, they are literally siblings or cousins or related by DNA in some way, shape or form, which does not apply to this teacher and student B they grew up together and experienced a lot of hardship or something that they can relate to, which again, doesn't apply to this teacher and student dynamic, and C, when someone is trying to deflect and distract from the fact that they definitely do not see this individual as their brother.

11:50That's it. I feel like those are the only three ways it goes. That's it. But not only that, they would bicker like siblings. And on top of that, the teacher would just bring this male student up in every single conversation, even if it's not about him, has nothing to do with him. She would somehow manage a way to weasel his name into this conversation with other students. it's just weird like are you obsessed with Alex or something but the teacher is on like the younger side of the other teacher she's 27 and so while it's highly inappropriate unprofessional and should stop maybe there's nothing more to it like maybe that's why nobody reported it but another recent graduate of centennial says I don't know I overheard something really really strange very strange conversation the psychology teacher and the football student they're in the hallway kind of hush hush whispering arguing and as the former student is walking back they heard the student say something to the teacher along the effect of i have a girlfriend why are you so worried about what i do which is just weird why would a teacher be so concerned about that then there's the video rumor a couple of students started telling their friends who told their friends who told their friends who told their friends and like maybe some of them told their parents.

13:02But the rumor is there's a video of one of the teachers giving a student oral in her classroom. Jess is a woman on a mission. This is, I mean, it's not an open secret if it's a literal crime. Jess goes straight onto the website submissions page and she starts typing up her tip. She enters her name. A student? Jess is the mother of a student, former student, graduated student. She starts typing up her name, address, phone number, email in the tip submissions part. And Jess writes that her daughter used to attend the school and was on the soccer team. And her soccer coach. I'm sorry, tip to what website?

13:37Oh, the police website. Oh, okay. And the daughter's soccer coach, who also happens to be the psychology teacher, has just always had this unprofessional air to her. The way she handles herself around the students, it just never felt right with Jess. She remembers distinctly how she spoke with the soccer coach, at least on one occasion about, quote, how I felt like her relationship was inappropriate with all the kids. However, I know that last year's team has a lot of info about a boy that she had apparently an inappropriate student teacher relationship with. He would meet her during non-school hours, and they were definitely Snapchatting.

14:15In the portion that reads a suspect name, she types in Haley Beck and sends it to the Peoria Police Department, where Detective Kraber, a detective in the heat division, so this is Human Exploitation and Trafficking Unit, picks up the tip. He immediately calls Jess back for more information. And she tells the detective, look, she's never been appropriate with her kids. She's never acted like some sort of authority figure. And she cares more about being a peer to the students than anything. She gossips with the students. And she worries about what they think about her. And it's just like, she wants to be our kids' friends.

14:48Apparently, Haley even texted Jess's daughter that Jess's daughter is being bratty. Like you're being bratty. A teacher texting a student that the student is being bratty, which is weirdly unprofessional. And Jess describes it as being manipulative. But the reason for the tip is not because Haley Beck is one of those odd teachers that needs to get a grip to life and come to terms with the fact that these high school students don't see you as cool or their friend, all disrespect intended. Jess would not have filed a tip for that. It's because of Alex, okay? She's saying there's this kid, this football player named Alex, and he just comes to all the girls' soccer practices, even when he has no reason to be on campus.

15:24And it doesn't seem like he's doing it to be around the girls of the soccer team. He would attend all of these lock-ins and students have started noticing that sometimes Haley and Alex would bicker. And some of the students were saying, oh, it's because they're like siblings. That's what Ms. Beck said, right? But it feels like they're arguing like they're in some sort of relationship. So she's submitting because she's worried about Alex, right? Yes. And then she says, but my daughter specifically heard something when they were arguing. And it's different from what the other student overheard because lots of tips are coming in simultaneously.

15:57And Jess says, you know, my daughter was walking by when they were arguing in the hallway and she overheard Miss Beck, the teacher say something along the lines of this would wreck my career, not yours. And then there's just all the small, very alarming things. Sometimes Alex wouldn't be in class, but Haley would never mark him absent. Miss Beck would invite Alex and the entire football team to come swimming at her apartment swimming pool. And the other night, there was this whole conversation amongst the students that Haley had, Miss Beck had given Alex head. That's the phrasing of it. Like, that's not me saying it because I think that would be a crime, but you get what I'm saying.

16:34Jess states at the end of this call, she feels really guilty because she doesn't have the proof of any sort of video or anything. But like, these are the things that she's heard. And she feels conflicted about making this tip because if she hadn't called, then nobody else is going to get dragged into it. And now the police want to talk to her daughter The police want to talk to these other high school kids, but they really, really need to look into 27-year-old Haley Beck, who is pretty easy to Google for the officers, by the way. She's not just a psychology teacher at the local high school. She's also the well-known older sister of a pretty well-known influencer by the name of Noah Beck.

18:48If you are one of the lucky people that did not download TikTok during the pandemic and continue down the easy pipeline of brain rotting like myself, you may have no clue who Noah Beck is, which is neither here nor there. Just know that he's a big influencer with over 30 million followers on TikTok and he makes a lot of money. And I don't want to say definitively, but it seems like he has not been in any career ending controversies. He seems unproblematic compared to some of the other TikTokers during that time period. he mainly does a lot of big brand trips now i think he's getting into acting i think he has a few shows on netflix that he's working on so wow yeah i think he's mainly trying to be an actor he's dating um he did date dixie d 'amelio but i think they were broken up a long time ago oh okay yeah but he's like from that era right but he makes a lot of money which may or may not be the only tiny detail that will hold relevance to this later but he also did some family vlogs that feature two of his sisters.

19:46So you've got Haley Beck, the oldest Beck child. And it appears that she's always had the going down the right path type of childhood. While her younger siblings, Tatum Beck, her younger sister, her younger brother, Noah Beck, were the troublemakers. That's how they talk about their relationships. They're like, Haley Beck is like the golden kid, the perfect child or whatever. Wow. And then Tatum Beck is like the troublemaker. She likes to throw pizzas at Haley Beck. but is hailey back also uh like influencer or not at all or she's just only as a sister only as a sister so she doesn't have her own tiktok and all she does but now not anymore it's pretty much gone but she was never famous for her tiktok she was really only famous for being noah back's sister yeah and i'm assuming everybody in school knows that too right that's noah back's sister yeah and apparently oh my god there's like this rumor i couldn't confirm but there were some anonymous students that were formerly in her class that said that because she's a psychology teacher she would use noah beck and dixie d 'amelio as personality references which was just weird very weird very bizarre very parasocial that's very interesting because you're saying that he she wants to be a friend yeah and his her brother is like basically the biggest star for high school kids yeah that must play a lot of roles in her brain and and her interaction with the kids right yeah which makes it i think more sick yeah not that noah beck did anything wrong yeah he doesn't even live in arizona anymore so just pointing that out but more on that later because there is a part about noah beck in the police report that is unverified but we'll get there hayley goes on to become a high school psychology teacher and she says in an interview, teachers can have connections with kids.

21:33And I feel like that's one of the most important parts of teaching because at the end of the day, you never know. I might be the only person in someone's life that does care. I try really hard to make that known in my teaching and in my interactions with my students. And then there's really not much else about her until recently, where every single TikTok of Hayley Beck in her classroom teaching has seemingly gone viral because there's a rumor that Haley Beck is the teacher in the video where I would consider it a say, but oral is committed against a student. Do you remember the TikTok trend where two people would be running, filming each other?

22:09They take turns. So one person pretends to be the suspect. The other pretends to be the cop chasing the suspect. And as they're running, the cop, the one that's filming, will say something like, suspect is a 25-year-old and still takes a bubble bath every single day. Suspect can't grow a beard. You know, they're supposed to be oddly specific You get it, you've seen it Noah Beck has done one with his siblings a while back And Haley Beck is running And Noah Beck says suspect's best friends are her students And Haley stops running to say They're nice to me Then another TikTok is dug up Same trend, but this time it looks like it's Haley And another, maybe a teacher or a student In a cafeteria And Haley is running through this empty cafeteria And a girl's voice on the other end says Suspect has a cult following of high school boys

22:56wow and there is a tiktok that has since started going viral which is a picture of hayley beck in her class and on the whiteboard behind her it's written mommy beck whether she wrote that and told the students to call her mommy beck whether one of the students wrote it and she just didn't erase it immediately it's unclear there's nothing inherently illegal or fireable in the videos of her in the classroom at least the ones circulating online although i do think that she did break some school rules because i don't think you're allowed to have students voices or their faces in any tiktoks without the parents consent oh so she films tiktoks she also would like film tiktoks in her classroom and they were just so cringe they've all been wiped from the internet but you can see some reposts on tiktok where she she just behaves in a way that i would never want my child anywhere near her and i don't even have children like what does that mean she's the epitome of a teacher that I think is not all there in the head.

23:52She likes to sing at her desk while the students are trying to focus. And it's very like, oh, pay attention to me. And then she'll be like, oops, sorry, I don't even know why I'm seeing that. And then there's another part like this one really just grinds my gears. And I do think that I have at times a very uncomfortable cadence and tone of voice. And maybe there is some vocal fry in my throat. But with Haley Beck, Like she's, this is a student. This is a professional setting. And she's talking to a student and she's like, Austin, stop. And I'm like, what is fucking happening? Huh. Is there like a trend that she's doing or just like clips of her life?

24:31These are clips of her life. And this is like at the time when a lot of teachers were filming themselves in classrooms. And then there was like a wave. Yeah, a wave of teachers filming themselves. And then a lot of schools got mad. A lot of kids got mad. a lot of the internet got mad because they were like you are like a toxic teacher you're a weird teacher yeah yeah yeah so she has some of these but i mean maybe they're fireable offenses but nothing inherently illegal in what has come up on tiktok it's just a combination of all the things that she does she has a tendency to consistently try to fit in with the kids and make the class about herself there's another tiktok where she's up on the table while the kids are exiting the classroom and it just seems like she's doing it to be cool i what do you mean up on the table standing on yeah and she's like watching them all leave i don't know like i just never had teachers really behave like that it just makes you uncomfortable she's bickering with students later another student would say that the football boys and hayley beck would constantly be making tiktoks in her classroom so i guess like the football boys would post their own tiktoks and that hayley beck started acting more like a friend rather than a coach or a teacher the football guys would always be behind her desk joking around with her there is this one picture that one of the football guys took boys children students okay just emphasis he's sitting at her what it seems to be her chair and she's leaned over her desk and it's just like the most weird body language highly uncomfortable one student says miss beck would be teaching her class and suddenly when the football players came in, she would stop teaching and just talk to them.

26:10And the way that they talked would be like that middle school teasing, flirting type of dynamic. There's also this newly circulating TikTok of a male student filming himself. I'm not going to post it, but it has gone viral. He's likely under the influence given the caption, but he's stating that he invited Haley back to pull up to his grad party and she did. And now she's another student's partner in Pong. I'm assuming beer pong. I don't know if there's beer in there or if it's Gatorade probably not Gatorade it's probably beer but he flips the camera and sure enough there's Hayley Beck at a house party that is wild other students have come out to say that being in Hayley Beck's class was just weird she would openly talk about her dating life which is not normal classroom behavior and so with all of this and the tip from one of the parents to the police department the police decide that they're going to start a full-blown investigation in fact they have tips about other things going on in Centennial High School so they're just going to upend and do a full overhaul and look into everything.

27:08And they start pulling up other names that they think are going to be good witnesses. They're calling their parents because most of them are underage, asking if they can come in for an interview. And all of them are led into the soft room. The soft interview room in big police departments is specifically designed to create a comfortable, calm environment. It's usually reserved for victims, witnesses, and for this situation children not the perpetrators multiple students are brought in from centennial high school into the soft room where they're asked can you tell us what you know about the ongoing investigation one of the students responds which one the police don't start investigating centennial high school because of a tip on hayley beck there is already investigation underway on a separate teacher 47 year old angela burlaka what is going on in this school while police are investigating Angela Berlaca, tips are coming in about 27 year old Haley Beck.

28:01So now they're like, okay, well, let's investigate both of them. And this is how both teachers are getting investigated for grooming their students. And random parents from Centennial High School end up opening their front doors, seeing a business card taped on the front for a detective. One of the mother calls the detective and says, I don't know what this is all about. Well, kind of. She says she figured out, you know, given all the recent events, she had heard rumors milling about concerning some teachers at the school, but she doesn't know all the details. But she heard that her child might know more.

28:34She and her daughter, who we will randomly call Taylor, Taylor is 17, get called into the soft room. Okay, so the police, they don't do like an audio transcription. So there's an audio and video file that we were not able to FOIA, which is understandable. This is still an open investigation after all as well but they don't have a transcript for the audio so this is the police officer paraphrasing their entire conversation based off the interview so these are i don't want to say they're direct quotes but they're as direct as it gets like these are all the statements the police reiterated in the police report so taylor tells the detectives i heard some rumors about miss burlaka what kind of rumors that 47 year old angela burlaka a teacher at the high school would send nudes to football players and that she would add a bunch of the boys on Snapchat.

29:21But a lot of the students like Miss Berlaka and felt that she was never odd in class. Like Taylor is like, oh, no, Miss Berlaka is not like Haley Beck, where she's obsessed with the boy students. She's actually pretty nice to me, but I don't know. This is the rumor that I heard. So maybe the rumor is just a rumor. Taylor reports to the detective that she personally noticed that Angela Berlaka started getting weird to her when she started dating another student, redacted. So we're going to call him redacted for now. Wait, Taylor, the 47-year-old teacher getting weird to Taylor? Yeah, so 47-year-old Angela Berlaka starts acting weird around 17-year-old Taylor.
