A Colorado teacher was arrested last week on suspicion of sexually assaulting a student, PEOPLE confirms.

An anonymous student reported the alleged activity throughSafe2Tell, a tipline that allows Colorado students to report illegal activity in their schools.

According to the police report, the school’s head track coach confronted Porter after hearing about the tip. She allegedly confessed to him. “She said ‘I f–ked up’ and that she was ‘in a real bad place right now,'” the coach told police, recalling what Porter had allegedly told him. She also allegedly told the head coach that she he had sent revealing photos to a student while wearing a tank top.

“They went into the office,” another student alleged to police, according to the documents. “She turned out the lights and she grabbed him. She told him to follow along and something to the effect that ‘I will do something.’ He assumed she meant she would do something to his family or him. She started kissing him.”

KDVR reportsthat another student’s mother told police that she saw how “friendly” Porter was with the student.

She has not yet entered a plea and is being held on $25,000 bond. Court records do not list an attorney authorized to speak on her behalf.
