Former Lampasas High School and Middle School band director Jeremy Flint entered a plea of guilty to one charge of improper relationship between an educator and student, a second-degree felony, during 27th District Court proceedings last Friday.
Flint was sentenced by Judge Debbie Garrett to 12 years in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice facility with credit for 122 days already served.
“We are thankful they brought him to justice,” Lampasas ISD Superintendent Dr. Chane Rascoe told the Dispatch Record.
On Jan. 26, the Lampasas County Sheriff’s Office received word from concerned parents who said their 17-year-old daughter was involved in an improper relationship with Flint.
LISD was notified of the allegation and placed Flint on leave, allowing the band director to meet with the superintendent to discuss the matter. Flint opted to resign, however, with his resignation effective Feb. 28.
It wasn’t until July 3 that Flint was arrested by the LCSO and charged with the crime.
According to the probable cause affidavit issued upon Flint’s arrest, the student’s parents uncovered what they said were alarming messages between the band director and their daughter. In multiple instances, Flint referred to the student as his “baby,” with the pair expressing how much they cared about each other, loved each other and looked forward to seeing each other.
The probable cause affidavit said the 17-year-old’s parents told authorities their initial concerns came after they noticed their daughter had become close with Flint and his wife, Chloe Flint, who also was a LISD band director at the time. She resigned from the district on Feb. 5.
A forensic interview was conducted with the student on Jan. 30, the affidavit states. There, the 17-year-old admitted she had attended a dinner with the Flint couple in Temple. The student told investigators that Flint sent her a text saying he loved her, which the student labeled as “weird.” However, the student did not describe any sexual contact with Flint in this initial interview.
During the course of the investigation, the affidavit says the student’s mother provided authorities with handwritten letters from Flint. In these notes to the student, Flint called her the love of his life and asked the 17-year-old to marry him.
A witness who was a friend of Flint and LISD volunteer told LCSO investigators in an interview Feb. 27 that Flint admitted to exchanging photos with the student on Instagram, but that he had deleted the images from his account to avoid possible repercussions, according to the affidavit. Flint’s friend told investigators the former LISD band director claimed he had sexual relations with the student in the LMS music library before Christmas break in December 2024. At that time, the student was 17, and Flint was an educator employed with LISD.
The student victim was interviewed a second time by LCSO investigators on May 7, the affidavit states. In this session with authorities, the affidavit says the student disclosed that she and Flint had shared nude images of each other on a social media platform. Also during the interview, the student stated the pair had engaged in sexual intercourse.
A Texas Attorney General’s Office Child Exploitation investigator executed a search warrant on Flint’s Instagram account that uncovered the inappropriate communications between Flint and the student, the affidavit says. That warrant was executed before the arrest was made.
