According to ArkansasOnline, authorities allege that “one student was dropped off by a friend at Goline’s residence in Jonesboro, where the two had sexual intercourse… Another student, enrolled in Goline’s class, said the teacher picked him up one afternoon and took him to her apartment, where they had sex before she took him back home…Authorities said they learned that Goline had sex that same day with another student she had taken to her apartment.”
In one case, Goline is accused of taking a student enrolled in her class to her apartment for sex before taking him back to school, ArkansasOnline reported.

Authorities also accuse Goline of sending inappropriate text messages to male students.
According to KAIT8-TV, “The court documents stated that she began by sending texts to the students ‘which became more and more sexual in nature.'”
The television station added of the allegations, “Yet another victim said Goline sent him sexually explicit text messages, including a photo of herself in a thong. He said Goline ‘texted him that she would like to have sex with him but he was too young.’”
The students were from East Poinsett County School District and Marked Tree School District; Goline was an art teacher at Marked Tree High School, from January through April 2016.

KAIT-TV reports that Marked Tree police “began investigating Goline in April when a parent threatened to come to the school and ‘do bodily harm’ to her. The parent also reportedly said Goline was having sex with multiple students.”
School administrators became involved, and Goline “came into the office and started crying,” according to the television station, citing a court affidavit in the case.
She’s accused of telling the principal: “I’m not going to lose my husband” and admitting of the acts with students, “We had sex.”
In one case, Goline allegedly said she thought the student was older than he really was, reported The New York Post.

She mostly filled her Facebook page with photos of herself with her husband.
