Tennessee Elementary School Teacher Accused of Rape and Harassment, Phone Call Reveals Shocking Revelation
A Tennessee elementary school teacher, Alissa McCommon, is facing serious charges of rape and harassment in a case that has taken a disturbing turn.
Local reports suggest that McCommon, a fourth-grade teacher, allegedly implied that she might be pregnant with the child of the boy she is accused of raping when he was just 12 years old. This shocking revelation emerged during a phone call played in court.
According to reports from Fox News, in the call, McCommon can be heard saying, “I’m going to raise this baby. I can do this,” raising questions about the disturbing nature of her alleged relationship with the victim. McCommon, who hails from Covington, was initially arrested on September 8 and charged with the rape of a child.
Furthermore, she was released on a $250,000 bond but was subsequently rearrested on September 28, facing additional charges of coercing, harassing, and stalking the victim.
A judge revoked McCommon’s second bond after authorities discovered that she violated the terms of her release by contacting the victim using a previously undisclosed phone number.
Covington Police Chief Donna Turner expressed concern about McCommon’s actions, stating that they were not only appalling but also raised concerns about potential violations of her bond conditions. She added that the police were investigating further to determine if others may have been contacted by McCommon.
In the messages she sent to the victim, McCommon displayed fear and desperation, writing, “I’m just really scared. I don’t even know if it’s you or not … I will never text you again. You will never hear from me again, just please don’t say anything.” She also pleaded with the victim to delete her number, expressing regret and concern about getting into trouble.
In September, McCommon reportedly admitted to “communicating inappropriately with former students” through online video games and social media apps. She allegedly sent inappropriate photographs and requested sexual relationships with the victims.
The Covington Police Department began investigating McCommon after receiving information from the Department of Children Services regarding her alleged sexual contact with a teenage male student.
Authorities clarified that there is no evidence suggesting McCommon’s alleged crimes occurred on school grounds. The police are urging any potential additional victims to come forward. McCommon was suspended without pay on August 24 when a parent brought forth allegations of misconduct against her.
As this disturbing case unfolds, McCommon’s attorney has not yet issued a statement. Police are encouraging anyone with concerns that their child may have been victimized by McCommon to contact the Covington Police Department or the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office CID.

Ninth Circuit Rules Federal Government Can Deport Illegal Immigrants
In a unanimous decision, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the federal government’s authority to deport foreign nationals in the U.S. illegally. The decision came after objections from local jurisdictions, and therefore reaffirms federal immigration enforcement capabilities, and deals a blow to sanctuary policies aimed at obstructing deportations.
The case centered on a 2019 executive order issued by King County Executive Dow Constantine, which barred the use of King County International Airport, near Seattle, for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation charter flights. The airport is adjacent to a major ICE operational base in Seattle, writes The Center Square.
Constantine’s order sought to prevent airport services from supporting ICE deportation flights, citing concerns about family separations, racial disparities in enforcement, and other human rights issues. The federal government, under the Trump administration, sued, arguing that the order violated the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, the intergovernmental immunity doctrine, and a WWII-era Instrument of Transfer agreement allowing federal use of the airport.
A district court ruled in favor of the federal government, and King County appealed. Writing for the Ninth Circuit, Judge Daniel Bress, joined by Judges Michael Hawkins and Richard Clinton, affirmed the lower court’s decision.
The panel ruled that Constantine’s order improperly targeted the federal government and its contractors, violating the intergovernmental immunity doctrine by “singling out the federal government and its contractors for unfavorable treatment.” The court further found that the order increased ICE’s operational costs and created imminent risks of further injury, thereby giving the federal government standing to sue.
Additionally, the judges upheld the claim that the order violated the Instrument of Transfer under the Surplus Property Act of 1944, which explicitly allows federal use of the airport.
Constantine defended the order as consistent with King County’s commitment to inclusivity and human rights. He argued that deportations conflict with the region’s values, including protecting families and promoting equity. However, the Ninth Circuit held that such ideological arguments could not override federal law and constitutional principles.
