Taylor Cruze resigned in May, allegedly after learning she was the subject of an investigation

A former teacher is facing 19 separate criminal counts in Tennessee where she’s accused of posting inappropriate videos of students to TikTok.

Taylor Cruze, whose age was not available, was first arrested in August.

But it wasn’t until last week that a grand jury in Smyrna returned an indictment against the former fifth-grade teacher.

A court official confirms to PEOPLE that Cruze faces five counts of exploitation of a minor under 13 by electronic means, five counts of exploitation of a minor by electronic means, and five counts of especially aggravated sex exploitation of a minor.

Additionally, she was charged with three counts of solicitation of a minor — rape of a child, and one count of sexual battery by an authority figure.

A plea hearing for Cruze is scheduled for Sept. 28.

Cruze was released on $100,000 bail. Efforts to reach her by phone were unsuccessful, and it was unclear Tuesday if she had legal representation.

According to WSMV, Cruze allegedly engaged in inappropriate explicit communications and sexual contact with the students.

It was unclear how old the victims in this case are.

Sources told WSMV Cruze allegedly posted videos to TikTok of the students.

The report doesn’t include information about the substance of the alleged videos.

Cruze resigned in May from her position as a first-year fifth-grade teacher at John Coleman Elementary School in Smyrna, soon after learning she was the subject of a criminal investigation.

Crosley MacEachen was initially indicted and charged on multiple counts back in June 

Ohio prosecutors dropped a rape indictment against a high school football star accused of sexually assaulting a sleeping teenage girl, saying that new “information came to light” in the case.
Crosley MacEachen, 18, who graduated from the Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, was arrested in June and indicted on rape, sexual battery and gross sexual imposition charges. He was released on $100,000 bond. 
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph T. Deters announced Thursday that, “Information came to light after MacEachen was indicted that has changed our understanding of this case.”
“This dismissal is not a comment on the guilt or innocence of MacEachen,” Deters said in a statement.
Prosecutors did not disclose the new information.
“Our job as prosecutors is to seek justice. It is not to seek convictions,” Deters said.

“We have an ethical obligation to only proceed on cases where we believe there is a likelihood of success at trial. Based on the information we have today, we will not be proceeding further.”
A teenage girl had alleged that MacEachen, a standout football player at the prestigious private school, assaulted her in her Symmes Township home on Dec. 6, 2020, according to court documents cited by the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The girl said she woke up at about 5 a.m. with MacEachen “on top of her,” having sexual intercourse with her, the newspaper reported.
“She pushed him off of her and realized she was naked, despite wearing clothes when she went to sleep,” according to the documents.

MacEachen was also accused of previously grabbing the girl’s buttocks in a separate incident.
His attorney Scott Croswell had maintained his client’s innocence, saying the allegations were “unproven.”
MacEachen had planned to play football at the University of St. Francis in Fort Wayne, Indiana in the fall.

A woman says rapper Nicki Minaj’s husband raped her while the two were teens in Queens more than 20 years ago — and the couple then harassed her and tried to intimidate her into recanting, according to a new lawsuit.

Jennifer Hough says in her Brooklyn federal suit that she was raped by Minaj’s hubby, Kenneth Petty, in 1994, after she encountered him while waiting for the school bus in Jamaica.

Petty allegedly approached her at the bus stop — then pulled a knife, held it to her back and led her to a nearby house, where he raped her, according to the suit.

After the alleged rape, he got off Hough and stood in front of a mirror while saying, “I am the man. I am the man,” the suit states.

Petty was arrested at the time and ended up taking a plea deal, serving more than four years behind bars on the charge of attempted rape, The New York Times reported.

Hough says in her suit that she suffered mental anguish for years after the attack — and then was targeted by Minaj when Petty was arrested in 2020 for failing to register as a sex offender in California over her case.

Minaj called Hough on the phone and offered to “help out” her situation, saying she could fly her and her family to California, according to the suit. Hough declined, the suit states.

The “Starships” rapper also allegedly offered to fly her publicist out to meet Hough to craft a statement for her to recant the accusation, the suit alleges. Hough says she refused.

Then through a series of encounters, Hough and members of her family were allegedly repeatedly offered cash bribes for as much as $500,000 by Minaj and her associates to get her to recant, the suit says.

In one proposed scheme, an old friend of Hough’s identified as “Black” in the suit told Hough that Minaj would record “happy birthday” videos for Hough’s daughter for her “Sweet 16” if she recanted. Hough says in her suit that she again refused.

Hough is seeking unspecified damages.

A lawyer for Petty did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A rep for Minaj also could not be reached.
