Angie meets with Jeff Long, who at that time was the Sheriff at Williamson County Sheriffs office, initially telling him only that she was afraid for the safety of GOA students due to Aaron's grooming behavior. Patti being there will later be misconstrued by Grace Chapel as an employee of theirs calling police and taking Angie. However, according to Angie, she initiated the contact with Jeff Long and Patti merely came along as an acquaintance. Jeff Long eventually assigns Tameka Sanders to the case. Lt. Sanders quickly realizes that there is much more to the case thanjust Aaron's inappropriate contacts with GOA students.
