A Missouri math teacher admitted to having sex with a student after she was arrested when police obtained photographs of the scratches she left on his back.
Hailey Clifton-Carmack, 26, pleaded guilty on Friday to sexual contact with a student in exchange for having the other charges including statutory rape, child molestation and child endangerment dropped, reported KRCG.
She faces up to four years in prison and will be on house arrest until she is sentenced on October 11.
The teacher was caught after police were informed of the relationship between Clifton-Carmack and student after a classmate came forward and showed photos of the teen's scratches.
The teen's father, Mark Creighton, is accused of knowing about the relationship but failing to report it and has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

Pulaski County Prosecuting Attorney Kevin S. Hillman told People that his case is 'on hold' until the teacher is sentenced 'as he has agreed to assist the State and testify if needed.'
Clifton-Carmack was arrested by the Garden Ridge Police Department in early January in Comal County, Texas.
But the sexual conduct took place in Missouri's Pulaski County, about 800 miles away from where she was apprehended by cops.
Court documents state how the teenage boy and teacher had sex during school while using other students as 'lookouts,' according to KRCG.
According to court records, the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department was contacted by the Laquey school resource officer who reported the relationship to the police.

A student came forward and showed photographs of his classmate with scratches on his back to law enforcement.
The teen said the scratches were from Clifton-Carmack after having sex with the teacher in the classmate's driveway.
Clifton-Carmack, who has two young daughters of her own, was recently divorced having been married to Chance Carmack, who is an amateur mix martial arts fighter and who had completed basic training in the U.S. Army.
Detectives visited the school district on December 8 to speak with the teacher and took her phone but until police got a warrant to unlock it, they were unable to see any incriminating messages.
At the time, Clifton-Carmack denied having any kind of relationship with any students outside of school.
According to court documents, Clifton-Carmack would often wear 'tight or low-cut shirts' and wear tight leggings that 'show off her body'

After getting a warrant, police found text messages that related to the alleged relationship with the 16-year-old boy.
The student who came forward to report the relationship said the teacher is 'too friendly with students and sometimes will dress inappropriately at school.'
According to court documents, Clifton-Carmack would often wear 'tight or low-cut shirts' to show off her 'headlights.'
She would also wear tight leggings that 'show off her body,' and would often be reprimanded by the school's administration for being 'too close with students.'
