Police also recovered sexually suggestive video clips of girls sucking on peppermint sticks and a man’s finger, inside what appeared to be his music classroom. Some of these videos were set to music or had sexually suggestive captions. In other clips, the girls were inappropriately touched or made to touch themselves, The Gazette reports.

Joynes reportedly admitted to taping the videos and said the name of one girl was tattooed on his right shoulder.

He is facing 14 counts of various sexual crimes against minors.

Joynes has already pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography and was sentenced to time served. He has also been ordered to register as a sex offender.

Guilfoy, 36, admitted that he and the 17-year-old student began texting and sending sexually explicit photos about two months ago.  The two also admitted to meeting four times in the past and having sex two of these times.

The former teacher is facing seven counts of child seduction, six of which are Class C felony charges. Each Class C felony charge is punishable by up to eight years in prison, reports the IndyStar.

The teen girl told police that the two agreed to meet at an apartment complex after a Friday night school basketball game. The student met Guilfoy there and got into his truck at the back of the parking lot. Guilfoy put up a sun visor and the two moved to the back seat and had sex, until they were discovered by the local police investigating the “suspicious vehicle.”

When asked why he continued to have sex with the girl when he knew it was illegal, Guilfoy answered, “I don’t know, attention, I guess pathetic,” according to the IndyStar.

Guilfoy is expected to be back in court next month.
