Elizabeth Flint, a former Ms. EIU (Eastern Illinois University) Fitness 2017 and fitness model, has been accused of having a sexual relationship with a student at her former high school, where she was working as a volunteer intern.
What happened?
Flint, 21, has been charged with criminal sexual assault for the alleged incident which involved a student from Glenbard East High School in Lombard, Illinois. School personnel reportedly became suspicious of Flint’s behavior and alerted administrators once the story came to light.
According to The Daily Eastern News, prosecutors claim that Flint assaulted the victim three times at her home, which is located in South Lalonde, this past April.
According to The Daily Herald, DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin issued the following written statement over the case:
“The allegations against (Flint) are, simply put, disgusting.”
“It is alleged that she used her position of trust and authority to sexually assault a minor student on three separate occasions. This type of abhorrent behavior will not be tolerated.”
Glenbard East Principal Shahe Bagdasarian also issued the following statement in an email:
“Although legal requirements prevent us from revealing specific information about this situation, we handled this matter with the utmost urgency and immediately followed all reporting and investigative protocols,”
Flint has since been released on $5,000 bond and her next date in court will take place this upcoming June.
