When she was home sick, he called her “boo” and offered to come over.

She told him she had strep. He joked about kissing and offered to bring her food. Three days later he told her to text him if she needed him, “and if it’s safe to come over.” On December 10 he commented on a photo of her and asked whether she was out with a boyfriend.

She told him she was waiting for marriage. He asked about sex toys and orgasms.

Same conversation, same night. “That outfit” is the lingerie listing she had just sent him.

He kept trying to see her.

Later that same night, when she said she was packing for a trip, he asked, “Can I come?” When she was in Florida, he told her he was there too and wished he could see her. Three weeks later he texted her a description of what she had been wearing at Target, where he had seen her without saying hello.

Now imagine she’s your daughter.

Every parent tells their kids the school resource officer is someone they can trust. Montez Aiken was that officer. For months he kept up a private text conversation with a student from his school. He sent her money and followed it with “Love you and 🤐🤐.”

He asked whether she had ever had an orgasm, whether she was on birth control and whether she used sex toys. He offered to buy her lingerie, offered to come over while she was sick, and asked “Can I come?” when she was packing for a trip. When another student spoke out on Facebook, he messaged her mother and asked her to take the whole post down.
