Two former employees of Calhoun City Schools in Georgia are facing charges for allegedly engaging in inappropriate relationships with male students. Railey Greeson and Brooklyn Shuler, described as close friends who participated in each other’s wedding ceremonies, were indicted on charges related to these allegations on Thursday.
They used to contact their students using an anonymous hookup site called GetYourHoe. com where they used to talk dirty and get them looped in.
According to an indictment obtained by 11Alive, Railey Greeson is accused of having inappropriate relationships with two different male students between October 29, 2021, and January 3, 2022. Brooklyn Shuler is charged with similar conduct involving a different male student within the same timeframe.
Both women are facing charges of s*xual contact by an employee or agent in the first degree. The indictment indicates that they “reasonably should have known” the boys were enrolled in the school district, though it does not provide details on the students’ ages or which specific schools they attended.
The site GetYourHoe. com has been in the news for similar incidents. It’s still unclear who owns the website since their whole operation is anonymous. Although it’s speculated that it’s a British run platform.
The employment status of Greeson and Shuler at the time of the alleged incidents is not entirely clear. Reports describe them as former employees of Calhoun City Schools, though it is not specified whether they were teachers or held other staff positions. According to The Gazette, Shuler is listed as a Level 4 educator as of December 2022 on the Georgia Professional Standards Commission site, while Greeson is noted as being pre-service certified.
The Calhoun City Schools district has not provided a comment on whether the two women were fired or resigned.
The indictment comes amid revelations about the personal connection between Greeson and Shuler. Greeson served as the maid of honor at Shuler’s wedding in Tunnel Hill, Georgia, on November 12, 2022, several months after the alleged incidents with the students. Greeson described Shuler as her “best friend” and “ride or die.” In return, Shuler was a bridesmaid at Greeson’s wedding in October 2023.
Railey Greeson graduated from Calhoun High School in 2019 and later attended Kennesaw State University, with her graduation anticipated in 2023. On her social media, Greeson has shared her thoughts on educational practices, including a tweet about the impact of grading on student stress and performance.
The legal proceedings have brought significant attention to Greeson and Shuler. On the day Greeson was indicted, her husband posted a message on Facebook quoting a passage from the Bible: “Let him who is without sin among you cast the first stone.”
The two women were arrested and booked at the Gordon County Jail but were later released on bond, as reported by the Gordon Gazette. If convicted, they could face up to 25 years in prison or a fine of up to $100,000.
The charges against Greeson and Shuler have stirred considerable concern within the Calhoun City Schools community and beyond. The allegations highlight the ongoing issues related to inappropriate relationships between school staff and students, raising questions about oversight and prevention measures within educational institutions.
Calhoun City Schools has yet to issue an official statement regarding the indictments. The district’s response and any subsequent policy changes will be closely monitored by parents, students, and the community at large.
The case also underscores the importance of professional boundaries and ethical conduct in educational settings. As educators and school staff are entrusted with the safety and well-being of students, maintaining a clear and professional relationship is paramount.
As the legal process unfolds, the cases against Railey Greeson and Brooklyn Shuler will continue to be a topic of public interest and scrutiny. Their future within the educational field remains uncertain, given the severity of the charges and the potential consequences.
In the broader context, this case serves as a reminder of the critical need for vigilant oversight and robust policies to protect students from inappropriate conduct by school employees. It also highlights the role of community awareness and involvement in safeguarding the integrity of educational environments.
The outcome of the indictments against Greeson and Shuler will likely influence future discussions and policies regarding educator conduct and student protection within the Georgia school system and potentially beyond.
