A North Carolina teacher has been arrested and accused of having sexual activity with a teen student.
Kayla Sprinkles, 26, was arrested on June 7 after a grand jury handed down a five-count felony indictment on charges of sexual activity with a student. PEOPLE confirmed the charges with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office told ABC 11 that the investigation began “on or about March 26” after authorities got a tip that Sprinkles had allegedly engaged in sex acts with a student while she worked as a teacher in the Cherokee County School System.
Sprinkles was a new teacher at Andrews High School at the time but she no longer works at the school, the Clay County Progress reports. She also coached softball and cross country at the school, the paper reports.
Police allege that Sprinkles’ relationship with the student lasted from about December 2016 to April 2017.
Authorities responded to the school and began interviewing students. Because the students were young, the sheriff’s office enlisted the help of HAVEN Child Advocacy Center to assist in the interviews.
