October 9, 201313 yr On August 28, Murray texted the girl at 6:48 a.m. "You up?" He continued, "I knew I liked you for some reason", "Girl, you're always looking nice", and at 7:18 a.m., "You already know I'll smack your ***". At 12:14 p.m., during school hours, Murray texted, "If I was twenty years younger maybe". At 3:22 p.m., "You look nice today". On August 29, at 7:09 a.m., Murray texted the girl to say, "Morning, good lookin'". At 7:32 a.m.: "So when you moving in?" At 7:40 a.m.: "We would have tons of the fun". More texts continued to flow that day. At 9:24 a.m.: "Just remember you have somebody here who cares for you deeply". The texts picked up again later that night. At 8:24 p.m.: "These are the days I want to take you home and give you the love you deserve". In an interview with 700 WLW and then at a press conference immediately following, Murray said that he aimed to be a father figure for the girl and for many of his students. His attorney, Chris Roach of the Eric Deters Law Firm, said at the time that the girl's home life was troubled and that Murray sought to counsel her.

The girl responded to that text with, "Why would we have to hide it, It's perfectly normal". Murray responded at 6:18 p.m.: "We need some us time". 6:32 p.m.: "No you or 2 smacks of ***". 11:50 p.m.: "Sorry, was watching movie. Night baby, love you". On September 1, Murray asked about the girl's family. 1:57 p.m.: "You think family therapy is working? I really do miss your smile." 7:25 p.m.: "Damn this feels like you really are mine". 7:36 p.m.: "I miss your smile". 10:04 p.m.: "Hope you miss me as much as I do you".

October 9, 201313 yr What a nice teacher. How sweet of him to spend so much time texting his student. I just hope he does not text and drive because that could be bad.
October 9, 201313 yr How old is the girl? The article only said that she was a minor...no actual age given.
October 9, 201313 yr I'm going to guess he isn't 17 lol Hmmm, you may be right, just wondering if he's 22 or 42.
October 9, 201313 yr In no way were those texts meant to be in a "father figure" manner. I would also like to know the age if the teacher. I mean if he was like 22 or 23 then I could understand it from a personal standpoint. But still as a teacher you have to know not to get involved like that. Just a bad situation.

That's what I was thinking at first, but then I realized that if he's trying to say he meant those things as a fatherly figure..... well usually there's more than 9 years 7-8 years age difference between child and parent. So now that I've let that marinate for a minute I'm guessing he's probably some where in his mid to late 30's. I'm sure we will find out eventually.
