LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Connor Page, a 22-year-old former math teacher in Clarksville, made his initial court appearance Monday, facing serious allegations.

The judge set his bail at $150,000 as prosecutors expressed concerns about the possibility of him fleeing.

Page remained silent as he entered the Clark County courtroom.

A lifelong resident of Clarksville, he had previously taught math at both Clarksville Middle and High schools. It was within the walls of his classroom that he began an illicit online relationship with one of his students, a 14-year-old girl.

His attorney, Larry Wilder, questioned him in court, highlighting Page's cooperation with authorities.

"When the allegations were made, you immediately left your job as a school teacher and resigned. And in fact, we stayed in touch with the Clarksville Police during the whole investigation, right?" Wilder said. "Cooperating with providing and recording devices, cooperating with providing passwords to the devices as well to sort."

However, evidence found on those devices painted a troubling picture. Police uncovered hundreds of messages between Page and the victim, including explicit requests from him for inappropriate photos.

Public documents, though redacting the victim’s name, revealed disturbing details.

"… also disclosed that she sent pictures to Page and advised that he had asked her multiple times, to the point of begging, for her to send him photos," according to court documents. 

Beyond the virtual realm, Page’s actions extended into the real world. The victim told authorities that Page would follow her school bus and wait for her at her stop.

Court documents said Page would come to her bus stop and follow the bus. The victim further stated that when she got off the bus, Page would be sitting and waiting on her in his car.

Acknowledging the severity of his actions, Page had sent messages to the victim, recognizing the legal consequences.

"With that said… I looked up some stuff and the punishments are insane and severe. They are nothing to play with. Everything we've done is a felony in Indiana," Page sent to the victim.

Even before criminal charges were filed, the victim and her family pursued justice through a civil lawsuit. They filed claims against Page, the Clarksville Middle School principal, a school counselor, and the superintendent, citing emotional distress caused by the situation.

During the court proceedings, prosecutors pushed for strict bail conditions. They emphasized the nature of the relationship and insisted that Page should have no contact with the victim and be barred from school properties.

"Various relationships between him and the victim—I would ask the court to take them into consideration. Additionally, I would ask as a separate term for the bond that Mr. Page not be allowed to be on any school property at this time," the prosecutor said.

Page was ultimately led across the courtroom by his lawyer and placed in handcuffs, facing the reality of his actions as the legal process continued to unfold.
