  Speaker 1: with explicit Snapchat messages including quote I want to taste

  Speaker 1: revealed he had obtained Fell's Snapchat handle during school hours.

  Speaker 1: he innocently asked if she'd bring snack chips for the class,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: she allegedly responded, quote what are you going to do
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: for them? End quote, accompanied by a winking emoji. The

  Speaker 1: creepiest exchange, Fell allegedly wrote that quote unquote I want

  Speaker 1: further claimed Fell sent him two nude pictures, including one
