According to reports, the illegal relationship was discovered when a family member called authorities on Saturday, February 21, at around 12:30 A.M. The unnamed individual told police that her younger sibling was dating a teacher from the high school.
She told the police that she witnessed the teacher drive her sister home and kiss her. When the sister asked about what happened, the teen admitted to being in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with the 36-year-old.
When police interviewed the teenager, she admitted to being in the relationship. She told authorities that the couple would message each other on TikTok. She claimed they’d hang out during lunch at school and after school. He also drove her home on most days.
Police were waiting at the school’s staff parking lot on Monday morning when Bushey arrived. Upon questioning, he immediately admitted to being in a romantic relationship with the minor. He alleged that he believed the teenager’s parents knew and gave him permission to drive her home from school.
He is currently being charged with six felony counts for engaging in sexual conduct with a student and another felony count of contacting a minor for sex as a person of authority. Bushey’s trial date is set for March 26.
Considering Bushey has worked as a teacher for years and has strong ties to the local youth, detectives are concerned that there may be additional victims who have yet to come forward with their stories.
Anyone who has information about the suspect is being asked to contact Metro’s Sexual Assault Detail at (702) 828-3421.
In Las Vegas, it’s always a crime for schoolteachers to engage in sexual contact with students, even when the students are above Nevada’s age of consent (16). In some situations, it’s also a crime for certain university employees and certain students to have sexual relationships. Engaging in a sexual relationship with a student is always a category C felony, and it always carries consequences like prison time and the loss of the teacher’s career. What’s more, the offender will have to register on a public sex offender list once they’ve served their time. This list will publicly detail the suspect’s crime, address, and photograph.
If you ever find yourself accused of sex-related crimes in Las Vegas, then it’s important to hire a lawyer right away. Admitting to being in a relationship with a minor is typically not a good legal strategy. Instead, it makes the most sense to talk to a lawyer before admitting anything to the police.
A conviction can lead to anywhere from one to five years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.
