♪♪ ♪♪

- I had a great marriage.

You don't realize
how quickly life can change.

- Teacher of the Year is
now charged with sex crimes.

JENIFER: Sexual as*ault
of a student.

- How could that
possibly be true?

JENIFER:
I get into his email.

There's a photo
of a woman, half naked.

prostit*tes, escorts...

His other life

was devious and deceptive.

There was nothing
about this that was love.

KIM WIGINGTON: Slowly
I just began to realize,

if he is this addicted,
yes, he did it.

He had sex with a student.

- Spencer escalated so much
in his behaviors

that he became a predator
and a criminal.

- Well, that former Teacher
of the Year right here

in jail tonight,
the allegations

from groping
to sex with students.

JENIFER: Rachel is the name
of the former student

who came forward
with allegations

against Spencer Herron

that led to his arrest.

ANDREA:
Any case that involves a minor

is usually closed,
so we never had any intention

of interviewing Rachel
for the podcast,

because we wanted to protect
her anonymity.

But we reached out
to her civil attorney.

He thought that potentially,

Rachel would be interested
in talking.

She agreed to sit down
and do a formal interview.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

[shattering glass]

♪♪ ♪♪

- One of the positive things
that has come from the podcast

is being asked to, um, do
some speaking engagements.

So Rachel and I were asked
to come and speak

to the criminology department

at the University
of North Georgia in Dahlonega.

The brave soul
that came forward

and reported the abuse

she endured
by her trusted teacher

reclaimed her voice
and said, "No more."

She was the victim
of my ex-husband's

despicable crimes.

But more importantly,
she's a survivor,

and Rachel is my friend.

Come on up, Rachel.

[applause]

- Thank you, Jenifer.

This was me at 15 years old.

I was a shy kid who focused
on doing good in school.

I was just opening up
and expanding

my friend group at this time.

ANDREA: She met him
at video production class,

sophomore year.

And through that program,
she got to know him

and feel safe with him.

- So I'm Spencer Herron,
the video teacher here at Kell.

- So many people, faculty,
students, respected him.

As a colleague, as a mentor,

he meant a lot
to this community.

MICHIKA: I graduated
Kell High School in 2008.

Coach Herron was called Coach

because he was
the girls' soccer coach.

- Attention all soccer players.

To be in shape,
possibly for tryouts,

attending workouts after school
is highly recommended.

MICHIKA: But I knew
Coach Herron

as my video production
teacher.

- When I'm not missing
my seniors in my video class,

you know, you know I'm watching
Unbelievabeef, last episode.

MICHIKA: He was definitely
viewed as the cool teacher.

Everybody wanted
to take his class.

Video production definitely
was my favorite class,

and he was my favorite teacher
for sure.

His class felt like a break
from the regular school day.

RACHEL: This was a post
I made on social media.

But little did I know
that this was the day

that would change
my life forever.

I joined a club,
a club called Drone Club.

And it was started
by my video-audio teacher,

Spencer Herron.

It started out small,
and I was

the first girl to join.

We met once a week
after school, every Thursday.

And this was my outlet.

I actually enjoyed it.

MATT: Spencer had these clubs.

The drone one was the only one
that I really heard

that kids were doing much with,

but all I believe
they were doing

was just playing with drones

on the football field.

RACHEL: We had a group chat

that we basically talked
about music,

movies and films, and it
all changed one afternoon,

when Herron asked to have

each of our own numbers
individually

after hearing
about our group chat.

His reasoning was
something like

we had to let him know
if we couldn't make it

to that week's meeting or not.

But he did this with everyone,

so I thought this was okay,
surely.

That is, until I started
receiving text messages

from him directly.

ANDREA: A lot of it was
just about the Drone Club,

equipment and checking in
and checking out.

Everything was so casual.

Boundaries were being lowered.

Then the text exchanges
with Rachel

started to change in tone.

They would talk about movies,
talk about music,

and share personal, intimate
details about their life.

RACHEL: He complimented my work
and my music taste.

Finding any commonalities
we had was his goal.

I liked a band,
he loved that band.

I liked this movie,

well, conveniently,
he just watched it that day.

"Double take," I remember
him texting me

one day after school,

which followed
with a screenshot

of a social media profile pic
that I had posted

previously beforehand.

This is when the compliments
on my looks began.

He'd say some things like,

how could someone so pretty
and so smart

not have a boyfriend?

I was flattered
by the compliments.

I was a teenager who was
very insecure about herself,

and it was something
that he saw

and that he took advantage of.

[ominous music]

There were
the beginning stages

of this predatory
communication.

And this would evolve
into something

that you see
right in front of you.

It's my facial expression,
as you can see.

And the other faces
you can't see--

they're smiling, but I wasn't.

And the reality is,
is because he was touching me

in that photo.

No one else saw it.

[dramatic music]

♪♪ ♪♪

- It started with
subtle touches here and there,

putting away equipment
at the end of class

and briefly touching my hand.

Passing my seat
and quickly touching my hair.

- And then one day, he said
he had feelings for her.

He said, "Let's just have
a conversation

and address it"
after school one day.

She goes and finds him
to talk about the fact

that he has
these big feelings for her.

[desolate music]

♪♪ ♪♪

ANDREA: At this point,
she is a virgin.

She doesn't have a ton
of romantic history.

And she is facing this adult
who has a wealth of knowledge

and experience in that area.

RACHEL: When there's
a position of power,

there is no consent at all.

The reality is
that teenagers and children

don't know how to say no.

Or they don't know
that they can even say no.

ANDREA:
That made her uncomfortable.

But this
well-respected teacher,

if he is coming to me saying,
"I'm in love with you,

this is meant to be,"
he must really love me.

She believed him.

ANDREA:
But it had to be kept secret.

She had to change
his name in her phone

to the name of one
of her friends.

She was really close
with her family.

She was lying to her parents.

RAMANI: Secret keeping creates
a false sense of intimacy

between two people.

This relationship
we're experiencing together

is special.

Most people wanna be

a part of something special.

- It becomes clear,
even with a vulnerable person,

that something's
not right here.

Now the person
in this kind of relationship

is actually somewhat trapped.

They feel,
"Where can I go with this?

"I can't tell anyone this,

"because if I tell
somebody this,

"someone's gonna get
in trouble, I could look bad,

"this could hurt me
and other opportunities.

My parents may get mad."

Or, most importantly,
"Nobody's gonna believe me."

- I went from a happy,
carefree, and hopeful teenager

to a cynical, angry,
and depressed one.

I completely shut
myself out from people.

I withdrew from my family
and my friends.

And by the time
I was a senior,

I had no communication
with anyone

that I was involved with
at school.

I felt like I wasn't deserving
of anything good in my life.

ANDREA: At some point,
you start to feel like,

"If this is a truly loving
relationship,

"I wanna be able to share that

"with the other people
in my life,

the people that I love."

And when you can't share that,
that starts to feel wrong.

[uneasy music]

RACHEL: I hated holding
something like this

from my parents.
I felt dirty.

What would others think of me
if I came out about this?

Would my parents hate me?

I would see them
sitting at a table,

and I would just imagine
myself coming out to them

and telling them the truth
of what was going on.

But, um, I was held back
by the thought of shame

and not being accepted.

And then I realized how I felt
for the past couple of years

wasn't right.

ANDREA: Rachel's relationship
with Spencer

spanned about three years.

But her senior year,
he was deployed.

And it was the first time
that Rachel felt

this sense of relief.

I wasn't being watched,

and I wasn't
being controlled anymore.

I wasn't under his thumb.

This gave me the clarity
I needed

to see how things
weren't right:

the depression, uh, angry
all the time for no reason.

Then I just couldn't
take it anymore.

[dramatic music]

ANDREA: He would brag
to Rachel

about having
other relationships.

At one point,
he shared with her a story

about having a threesome.

And one day,
she was in a class

where they were talking
about STDs.

- And that's when she decided

that she needed to tell
her parents.

- I sat my mom down
on Mother's Day of 2018

and told her initially
that I was afraid

I potentially had an STD.

She'd asked if I had had sex
with a boy from school.

I told her no, and then I said
his name, Coach Herron.

I will never forget
the look on her face

when I told her his name.

[dramatic music]

She told me,
"I have to tell your dad."

And out of embarrassment,
I cried,

and I pleaded with her,
and I said, "Don't tell him."

She went ahead and took
my dad aside

and said that they had to go
for a drive.

And I didn't see them
for hours after that.

To this day, I never asked
how that drive went

between my mom and my dad.

They came back home, and they
both sat me down and said

I needed to go to the police.

And all I could say was "Okay."

- A Cobb County Teacher
of the Year nominee

accused of sexual as*ault
involving a student.

REPORTER: This is the mug shot
of 48-year-old Spencer Herron.

REPORTER 2: A victim told
police

she engaged in unprotected sex

at Herron's request
multiple times,

beginning in January
of last year.

REPORTER 3:
Two former students,

who did not want
to go on camera,

told me Herron was
a great coach and teacher.

The other student added
Herron was a professional

and kind-hearted.

She told me
she does not believe

the allegations are true.

MICHIKA: When I first
found out about his arrest,

I just couldn't believe
that something like this

could even happen.

- Most people weren't

too interested
in believing that

because of the impression
that a lot of us had

of Spencer Herron.

He was Teacher
of the Year, you know.

MATT:
I was hired about two months

after Spencer Herron
got arrested.

And so, when I first started
my new program at Kell,

there was a lot of backlash.

There was definitely
a large group of students

who really missed
the old program,

really missed the old teacher.

I don't think they cared
about the allegations

and all the stories.

When I started talking
to other faculty members

about Spencer,

it was nothing
but glowing reviews,

all these positive things

about how great
his program was,

how much the kids
loved his program,

that he was the cool teacher
amongst the students

and the faculty.

A couple male teachers,
they would say,

"There's two sides
to every story."

♪♪ ♪♪

RACHEL: I was in a situation
where I was in his office

and he was holding my hand.

And a teacher walked in
and saw it, looked at us both,

and walked out.

And I never saw
that teacher again.

♪♪ ♪♪

MATT: I was just baffled.

We're reading articles

about him assaulting
a student,

and I still couldn't get
a negative story

out of anybody.

RACHEL: Overall, there's
a fear of retribution,

fear of losing their job, fear
of losing their credibility

or getting
a coworker in trouble.

It's that mentality
of protecting one another.

ANDREA: A lot of teachers
and faculty came

to Spencer Herron's defense

because people trusted him.

JENIFER:
A lot of people thought,

"Oh, the student--

"she's probably just trying
to accuse him

"of something
that didn't really happen,

or maybe she had pursued
and she was hurt now."

- I did see some
of that victim blaming.

My friend had said,
"I just don't understand

"how that girl could do that.

"Do your parents not teach you
to, like, be more careful

and not go to a hotel
with a grown man?"

[uneasy music]

♪♪ ♪♪

RACHEL:
After I came forward,

I had victim-shaming
commentary online

such as, "She knew
what she was doing."

"What was she wearing?"

"It was her hormones."

"She wanted him."

I even saw the question,
"Was she hot enough?"

And these people
didn't know me from scratch.

Inappropriate relationships
between students and teachers

are not romantic.

I was made to feel
like an adult.

I was having to pretend to be
more grown than I was.

And on top of that, I was made
to look like a villain.

ANDREA: She was gonna take
this to the grave.

But the bravery of just sharing
the situation was tremendous.

And by her coming forward,
it empowered others to say,

"Something's not right here."

[dramatic music]

KEELY: So my video production
classes with Spencer

were really fun.

He was the cool teacher.

Everyone really liked him.

It's weird, 'cause there was
this dual feeling of shock.

Like, I didn't really wanna
believe it either,

but also, I guess
I always knew

he was inappropriate
in some way,

even though I would have hated
to admit it back then.

- Teacher bribes?

They're gonna get
a passing grade.

Depends on what they bring me
as to how high the grade.

KEELY: Kids knew that they
could get away with stuff

with him.
I knew that.

I tended to skip his class.

And he--he would never tell
on you

or anything like that.

In the moment, I did feel
like I was special.

And also, I did self-harm,
and I'm okay to admit that.

And it was something
that he had noticed.

And he didn't tell
a guidance counselor

or, like, the administration
or my parents or anybody.

As a kid, I appreciated it.

But he should have.

If they're keeping secrets
or asking you to keep secrets,

there's something not right.

Because an adult
who really cares about you

is not gonna do that.

They're gonna want you
to get help.

MATT: When I first started
my new program,

seniors came in
on the first day that I had,

and they were all so upset

that the room had changed.

They were like,
"Where's the Elvis blanket?"

He would hang the blanket
over his office window.

Why did he hang a blanket
over his window?

And they go, "Oh,
so he didn't want students

looking in the office."

It just seemed so awful
and strange

that no one noticed

that this teacher had coverings
over his windows, um,

during the school day
and all the time.

[eerie music]

As I was clearing out the room
and trying to make it my own,

I went
through the filing cabinets,

and I found
an email correspondence

between him and a contact
in LA

that, you know, boiled down
to Spencer's interest

in possibly getting
into the porn industry.

♪♪ ♪♪

And it was just shocking.

Why would you print
these emails

and keep them
in your filing cabinet

at a school?

RACHEL:
This is how grooming works:

desensitizing the child,

mentioning p*rn*graphy,
masturbation,

anything that would be
uncomfortable to the child,

to where pushing
those boundaries

would become normalized.

♪♪ ♪♪

- This note is dated May 2008,
which was when I graduated.

It says, "Michika, I can't say
goodbye, so I won't even try.

"I hope we can stay friends,
work together,

"and both grow
in video production.

"I want to thank you

"There has never been one

Sorry, his handwriting

"I know without a doubt

When I read this
back when I was 17,

it made me feel
really special.

None of my other teachers
wrote me a goodbye letter.

But reading it now
is like,

it's kind of a weird way
to, like,

talk to a student, you know?

♪♪ ♪♪

After I graduated, I got, like,
a few messages on Facebook

from him.

The conversation
each time would end

with him suggesting
that we go get coffee

sometime to catch up.

That never ended up happening.

I can believe now that he did
have ulterior motives

other than just saying
a friendly hello

to a former student.

ANDREA:
Jen found messages

between him
and other former students.

Not just one,
not just two, dozens.

He was constantly
just cultivating

as many opportunities
as possible.

- After I graduated, Spencer
did message me on Facebook.

And I was really thinking
it was a fake account.

Here's this popular teacher

that all
of the female students thought

was super attractive,

and, you know, he was messaging
me, an 18-year-old.

He kept saying, "So cool
to watch you mature and grow."

And "I was always fond of you."

Then he came to my job.

When he came in, he hugged me.

It was kind of a longer hug

than I would have been
comfortable with.

And he very audibly sniffed me.

And my manager noticed.

And when Spencer left,

he asked me,
"Who was that guy?"

♪♪ ♪♪

That was kind of
where it ceased,

and then I went
and blocked his number.

- In the end, nothing happened
with Michika or Keely.

They both turned him down.

But that wasn't
the case for some.

And there were former students
that he had affairs with.

RAMANI:
These earlier relationships

with teenage girls,

waiting until they turned 18.

As some of those were actually
yielding the results he wanted

and he wasn't getting caught,

that then led
to the escalation.

RAMANI: Advantaging trust
and vulnerability

and using things
that are actually important

in relationships,
like feeling special and value

and chosen, and instead,
distorting those

and pathologizing those
to take advantage of people.

- And that's what
these predators do,

is they groom you
by providing things for you,

doing all these things
and get to the point where,

"Well, I've done
all this for you.

Now I need you to do
something for me."

And boom, next thing you know,
it's sexual as*ault.

- This is a toxic dynamic that
everybody needs to know about.

RACHEL:
The grooming, it's a process.

Usually, people who are
in positions of power,

such as coaches, teachers,
religious leaders...

They first develop
an attraction

to a specific child.

RAMANI: It's almost
like predator glasses.

[eerie music]

He was often focusing
on young women who were shy,

may not have had
as many friends,

may not have sort of fit
conventional standards

of what makes a gal popular
in high school.

And that vulnerability
is what was making them

a sort of viable target.

FLYNN:
It's almost like watching

an animal show channel

where the lion is
sitting there,

looking for the weakest person.

RAMANI:
You have somebody who was

the Teacher of the Year twice,

who was beloved by students

and many colleagues.

And now I want you to stop
and sit down and think

you're a teenage girl.

And now I want you
to stop and think

about what it would feel like

to be the one who calls
that teacher out.

That is nothing
short of miraculous.

Most survivors don't feel
safe enough to speak out,

and I completely
understand that,

because what Rachel did

didn't come
without incredible harm

and risk and anguish for her.

to someone else?

It could have been me.

She's a hero.

RACHEL: Although this happened
to me and my family,

it is none other

JENIFER:
Spence wrote me one letter

addressing the sexual as*ault
of the student.

And he blamed the student
for what happened.

[dramatic music]

He said, "I've never
ever looked at her

"in any inappropriate way.

"I can remember Rachel
starting to stare at me,

"longer looks, more often.

"She was being very obvious.

"I was packing up to go
and was in my office,

and she surprised me.

"I think she said something
like, 'What are you doing?'

"'I'm going home,' I said.

"'That's too bad,'
she responded.

"Then I remember a kiss.

"She was very aggressive
most of the time.

"I was sure it was something
she was super familiar with.

I was never taking
some kind of leading role."

Spence denied
ever being forceful.

In fact, he said,

"I'm not the monster

that she's making me out
to be."

ANDREA: There was a chance

it was, uh, shocking.

APRIL: I don't think
five years is enough

FLYNN:
The law would require him

to register as a sex offender,

allowed to be around children

it be work, where he lives.

it wouldn't necessarily be
a soft landing.

pretty comfortably,

as badly as Spencer did,

I use the analogy
of sort of an asteroid hitting.

It's not just about the impact,

There was

had with him,

I didn't have
those experiences.

So why do I feel so shattered
and destroyed and betrayed?

GAIL:
I did feel betrayed

because we had put so much
into him

for so many years,

that he would do that to us,

knowing us, knowing
our family?

Who is this man that would do
that, married to my daughter?

As I'm talking right now
about this,

I'm really realizing
that this is the first time

I've admitted that--
that I'm so angry,

that I'm angry about it.

[sighs]

- The healing's not over yet.

I'm not out of the woods yet.

I am still clawing my way back
out of this deep, dark hole

that I fell into.

ANDREA: But the Jen
that I met in 2019

is a different person
than the Jen I see today.

I always knew she was strong.

Now I see a woman
that knows her strength.

Jenifer knows how to survive.

She's done it all of her life.

She could just make it happen.

- Jen is not defined
by her marriage to Spencer.

Jen is not defined
by the podcast Betrayal.

Jen is Jen.

And the most important part
of the healing journey

is for us to not be
defined by our stories,

but to simply be
our authentic selves.

That is going to be
the healing journey for Jen,

for Rachel, and for anyone else
that was harmed by this story.

JENIFER:
To this day, I am so grateful

Rachel did come forward.

It was the bravest thing
she could have done,

and it also saved my life.

If she hadn't brought
Spencer's activity to light,

I may never have learned
of his deception.

I could still be married
to this monster.

I really want this story

to give other people
the courage to speak up

and to talk about these topics

that are really difficult
to speak about.

By coming forward,
by speaking out,

you could be saving
somebody else

from having to go
through something horrible.

If I could just help
one person

by sharing my story,

then I was bringing
purpose to it.

I wouldn't trade what happened
to me for anything now.

I think I've grown
a lot from it.

I don't know
what the future looks like.

None of us do.

But if we just keep moving
forward, we're gonna be okay.
