Jason Engler, 45, is already serving a 3 to 5 year sentence at Graham Correctional Center for one victim that was his student. The victims were both middle school age. Mr. Engler reportedly sent pornographic images of himself to students as well as keeping a journal about not only marrying one victim and taking her to Ohio but fantasy fiction about another victim. He was arrested in the summer of 2024 for both victims.
After the first arrest when he was released with an ankle monitor, he tried to get in contact with another victim. He was arrested again immediately after his first arrest.
When the parents of one victim came forward to the school and explained that Mr. Engler was stalking and harassing their child, the school stated that "he was just a nice guy". They explained he was just friendly.
I have seen the photographs and videos of Mr. Engler stalking a victim. It is alarming. Community members sent me the photographs.
Individuals in the community took photographs of Mr. Engler because they stated they "knew something was wrong" and they felt he was targeting a particular young lady. In fact he was targeting two particular young ladies. After targeting them, he spent nearly two years grooming them.
Jason Engler received 5 years for the first victim in court on Wednesday (yesterday). However, the 5 years will run concurrently with his current 5 years which is something many people in the community did not want to happen. They felt he should have to serve independent time for each victim.
Our thoughts remain with the victims.
