A high school math teacher in North Carolina was arrested for having inappropriate sexual contact with three male students.
Erin Elizabeth McAuliffe is charged with three counts of sexual activity with a student and one count of indecent liberties with a minor, according to local media reports. The four charges carry a combined maximum total of five years in prison.
Police say their investigation started on May 5 when administrative staff from Rocky Mount Prep notified police of a possible inappropriate relationship at their campus. The information was related to a math teacher having inappropriate sexually related contact with three juvenile male students off campus, a press release from Rocky Mount police said.
Detectives with the Rocky Mount Police Department began an investigation and interviewed numerous students and faculty of the school before the arrest. According to a press release, one of the students was 16 years old and two of the students were 17 years old at the time the incidents occurred.
Rocky Mount Prep officials had removed McAuliffe from the classroom on May 4. They officially sacked her on May 8.
“We have fully cooperated with police on this matter and she is no longer an employee of the school,” Todd Pipkin, the school principal, told the Telegram.
McAuliffe was released from the Carteret County Jail after posting a $20,000 bond.
According to her LinkedIn page, McAuliffe graduated from Methodist University in Fayetteville, NC where she had a 3.49 GPA.
According to DailyMail, many readers expressed shock over the incident.
“Teachers ought to be 40+ years old before they can teach pupils 12 years old and over,” one Daily Mail reader commented.
“What is with these women?” another added.
