Rotten Mango·True Crime & MysteryAll Of Teacher Haley Beck's 4,000 Grooming Texts, 'Sugar Baby' Deals & Sick Love Letter
TL;DR
27-year-old Arizona teacher Haley Beck groomed a teenage football player through 4,000+ texts, cash payments, and a love letter found during a police search warrant.
Key Points
- 1.Haley Beck is a 27-year-old psychology and soccer coach teacher at Centennial High School in Peoria, Arizona. She is also the older sister of TikTok influencer Noah Beck, who has over 30 million followers.
- 2.The investigation began with a parent tip to the Peoria Police Department's HEAT (Human Exploitation and Trafficking) unit. A mother named Jess reported that Beck had an inappropriate relationship with a football player referred to as Alex, describing her as manipulative and more interested in being students' peer than a teacher.
- 3.Beck sent Alex approximately $630 over a month and a half via Apple Pay in increments of $20–$30, with no legitimate reason, which investigators and witnesses flagged as deeply alarming grooming behavior.
- 4.The 'sick love letter' was found crumpled in Beck's kitchen trash can during a search warrant of her apartment. Written like a high school student addressing a crush, it referenced smoking weed together, going to the aquarium, and signing off 'Always love HB.'
- 5.The letter was addressed to Alex, her student, and contained lines like 'I love you and I wish you all the best.' It was framed as a goodbye before college, mimicking the tone of two teenage peers rather than a teacher and student.
- 6.Beck's grooming behavior included texting Alex constantly, asking what he was doing, sending selfies, and inviting him and the football team to swim at her apartment pool. She would meet up with Alex off-campus, including at a pizza restaurant called Fired Pie, where she paid for his food.
- 7.A video rumor circulated among students alleging Beck performed a sex act on Alex in her classroom. This rumor, along with student witness accounts, was central to the police investigation.
- 8.Beck openly discussed her inappropriate relationships with other students, framing it as a badge of honor that other teachers questioned her closeness with students, and she showed no concern about being reported.
- 9.Beck exclusively allowed male football players to hang out in her classroom after school, while female students were excluded. Witnesses described her holding pizza parties for 30+ football players and stopping mid-lesson when football players entered.
- 10.Beck appeared on TikTok videos with captions like 'suspect's best friends are her students' and 'suspect has a cult following of high school boys,' and a classroom whiteboard behind her read 'Mommy Beck.'
- 11.A second teacher at Centennial High School, 47-year-old Angela Burlaka, was simultaneously being investigated for grooming the same student, Alex. Police discovered she sent nude and masturbatory videos to Alex when he was 16 years old, saying his name in the videos.
- 12.Both Beck and Burlaka were grooming Alex simultaneously, and Beck was aware of Burlaka's behavior but never reported it. Text messages show Beck expressing jealousy at being compared to Burlaka, saying 'I don't like being compared to Miss B.'
- 13.Investigators subpoenaed both Snapchat and phone records, recovering deleted messages due to tech companies' legal obligation to preserve metadata and provide law enforcement access through back-end portals.
- 14.As of the episode's publish date, neither Haley Beck nor Angela Burlaka had been formally charged. The case was still ongoing, with all allegations sourced from a 200-page police document obtained via FOIA request.
- 15.Students described a disturbing competition among 8–9 football players to collect the most inappropriate photos and videos from the two teachers, suggesting the grooming was widespread and known among the student body at Centennial High School.
