Disturbing details of teacher Spencer Herron's emails emerge as wife speaks out over sex offender's double life

EMAILS have revealed a former teacher of the year's double life after he admitted to sexually assaulting a student on campus.

Spencer Herron, an educator at Carlton J. Kell High School in Marietta, Georgia, was arrested on June 1, 2018, to the shock of the local community and his wife, Jenifer Faison.

Herron taught classes in video production for 16 years at a Georgia high school and was even named Cobb County's Teacher of the Year for the 2016-2017 school year.

The disgraced teacher was arrested after three students came forward with allegations against him.

Arrest warrants stated that Herron also allegedly had sex multiple times with two other students between 2016 and 2018, local ABC affiliate WSB reported.

The educator was indicted two months after his arrest, and on January 18, 2019, he pleaded guilty to five counts of sexual assault.

Herron was sentenced to five years behind bars at Wilcox State Prison and 15 years of probation.

Last summer, he was released and ordered to register as a sex offender in Gwinnett County, and on Tuesday, ABC News released a new docuseries on Hulu following the story and new information titled Betrayal: The Perfect Husband.

DOUBLE LIFE EMERGES

Herron's wife explains in the series how she uncovered disturbing information about her husband's life after he was arrested.

"Little did I know I was married to a man who had done something so horrible that it would devastate our lives and change us forever," she told the network.

Police gave Faison access to her husband's Facebook account after they brought him into custody so she could remove it.

Later, she was given access to his email as well.

While sifting through everything, she allegedly made a shocking discovery in Herron's files with a folder labeled "photos."

"I start scrolling down and all of a sudden there's a photo of a woman half naked," she said.

"And then there's another one and then there's another different woman naked. And I just kept looking and it was woman after woman after woman."

Faison continued: "And then I found emails and messages between him and these women. He was living a double life."

"Who was this predator that I was married to? I never would have imagined the scope of what he had done."

Faison also questioned the timeline of events and how long Herron may have been talking to other women while on a podcast she co-created called Betrayal.

"I was just looking for all the answers. Like, I needed a timeline. I needed to know when did this start, when did this end?" she questioned during an episode.

"If it ever ended, I had to see was it anything that I had done at any point?"

VICTIM SPEAKS

As the podcast episodes were released, Faison spoke with one of Herron's victims, Rachel, who was 16 at the time of the sexual assault.

Some members of the community in Marietta didn't believe Rachel at first, given Herron's spotless track record as a teacher and the support he often received from locals.

"I went from a happy, carefree, and hopeful teenager to a cynical, angry, and depressed one," Rachel, now an adult, explained to Faison on the podcast.

"I completely shut myself out from people. I withdrew from my family and my friends and by the time I was a senior, I had no communication with anyone that I was involved with at school."

Rachel added: "I felt like I wasn't deserving of anything good in my life."

Faison issued her gratitude to Rachel for her decision to come forward and noted that the healing process continues.

"The healing's not over yet. I'm not out of the woods yet. It's only been four years," she said.

"I am still clawing my way back out of this deep dark hole that I fell into."

Herron was previously married with kids before he divorced and re-married Faison.

The pair had previously dated in college but broke up and re-connected on Facebook later in life.

All episodes of Betrayal: The Perfect Husband are currently available for streaming on Hulu for subscribers.
