At the time, the defendant was in a position of authority over the victim. He was her high school band teacher at Hopkinsville High School.
Peveler had come into contact with the victim because she was a student at Hopkinsville High School.
In August 2017, after the victim was 17-years-old, the Peveler allegedly brought the same victim to his home in Hopkinsville. At that time, the police report states he had sexual intercourse with her. He was still the Hopkinsville High School band director at that time.
