New details after Nebraska teacher accused of having sex with student

According to a witness in the search warrant, Cali Heikes, 25, met with the student outside of school multiple times a week.

According to a search warrant filed in Wayne County, a traffic stop near a cemetery helped authorities connect the dots to a sexual relationship between a teacher and a student. The teacher, 25-year-old Cali Heikes, was arrested on Jan. 22 and posted $2,000 to bond out of jail the following day. According to the sheriff's office, Heikes is a teacher at Winside Public Schools. In the search warrant, a deputy states they received a call the evening of Jan. 20 from a Department of Health and Human Services hotline about a teacher believed to be in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old male. According to the deputy, he then recalled a traffic stop from Jan. 12 when he observed two vehicles leaving the area around the Winside Cemetery. The deputy stopped the vehicle driven by the alleged victim for a traffic violation and the driver reported he was at the cemetery with "his friend Cali," according to the warrant. Later that evening, the deputy interviewed a family member of the student and said the person would sneak around with Heikes for the purpose of having sexual intercourse. In the search warrant, the family member said they believed the two would have sex two-to-three times per week at various locations in Wayne County. That family member showed the deputy text messages substantiating her report.The deputy also reports an interview with other family members in which they recalled the alleged victim asking "how they would feel if he was dating a 25-year-old."The search warrant seeks cell phone and other electronic information for Heikes, who the deputy believes committed sexual abuse by a school employee, which is a Class IIA felony in Nebraska.Under Nebraska statute, a person charged with a Class IIA felony in Nebraska faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
