An arrest affidavit obtained by 11 News reveals disturbing details about what a District 11 substitute teacher allegedly asked a student to do in a recorded phone conversation.

Documents say 73-year-old Lloyd Clark offered a 15-year-old boy as much as $5,000 to perform sexual acts. The first incident allegedly happened in a classroom at Wasson High School last Thursday. The student immediately contacted the school resource officer.

According to the arrest affidavit, detectives then set up a recorded phone conversation between the alleged victim and Clark. In the conversation, a detective says Clark reiterated the agreement he allegedly made with the student earlier that day.

A former Doherty student, Caitlin Krzywonski says she doesn't believe any of it. She says she had Mr. Clark, he sub they all called Gramps several times as a freshman at Doherty High School.

"Everybody loved him, if you had a sub you wanted Gramps," Caitlin said.

Caitlin believes it was all just a misunderstanding.

"I think even if he did say something in a conversation it was not meant to be taken seriously, that's not the kind of man he was," she said.

Clark was arrested Thursday afternoon at his Colorado Springs home. He posted a $10,000 bond and was released from the Criminal Justice Center early Friday morning.

He faces a felony charge of solicitation for child prostitution. Clark is expected to be advised of his charges in court on Wednesday.

Did "Gramps" ever teach junior high music in Montana, a long long time ago? My teacher had the same name.

wow people! Is this horrible or what! We have people making this PREDATOR into a victim of sorts because he is a nice guy! And at the same time the victim in this whole thing is being made to look like a monster because HE DID THE RIGHT THING!! What is going on here!?!? He couldn't have done it because he's a 'nice guy'??!!! That is crazy! No offense but really, cmon.... To the victim; dude you so did the right thing. What you did took alot of courage and it was and IS the correct thing to do. This man has problems that finally are brought to light. Who knows how many people you have saved from this mans WRONG actions. You are very much a hero and if I could thank you personally I would. You also opened the door for other victims who unfortuneatly didn't have the courage or didn't know what to do in such a heinious situation. I'll just end by saying Thank You for doing the right thing. Thank you also to your parents... they'll know why.

I do believe you and I am on your side. It is great that you are out there raising awareness that this can happen to anyone. And I think you are one of the bravest people I know. Because coming out and saying something that other people will end up hating you for is admirable. And I admire you!!! Thanks for keeping this guy from doing it to anyone else.
