She faces three felonies for admitting to sending sexual messages and pictures back and forth with three students. “Every child should be able to have a safe environment to learn in. Unfortunately, this is one of those times for certain students it didn’t happen," said McLoud Police Chief Kyle Webb. Court documents showed Cator would groom each boy the same way. She would text their phone or message them on social media sites before adding them on Snapchat. The investigation showed Cator even made the effort to become close friends with her victims' parents, especially the mothers, sending them pictures of the boys in class or at sporting events. >> Download the KOCO 5 App“I do sometimes think there is a misnomer. People look at whether it’s a male victim and a female predator compared to a male predator and female victim. Sometimes they look at it differently. I think that’s a mistake. They’re still kids," Webb said. The investigation was prompted after a student told her mom Cator was having sex with students, according to court documents. Cator gave school administrators a list of 10 students she was inappropriately messaging.Administrators said they were made aware of the possible incident in November. After the internal investigation, the school turned over all findings to the police and said Cator no longer works for the district. Cater excused her actions by claiming she drank too much, suffered from mental illness and couldn't separate dreams from reality. “No one else has come forward. We would encourage people to come forward. A lot of times in cases like this people feel more empowered to come forward. Maybe it’s not such a stigma," Webb said. Cator was arrested last Thursday on a $15,000 bond. The police chief told KOCO she had been bailed out and the case now belongs to the district attorney's office.
