A high school math teacher in Alabama who allegedly had sex with one of her students has been released from custody after turning herself in to cops.
Ashton Alana McCluskey, 27, was arrested by the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday and released on a $50,000 bond, WAFF reported.
McClusky has been charged with two felony counts of Sexual Conduct With a Student under the age of 17 and has been ordered not to have any contact with the alleged victim.
She faces a sentence between two and 20 years and a permanent ban on her teaching license, outlets reported.
McCluskey, who teaches seventh-grade math at Brooks High School in Killen, was investigated by Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of Investigation.
Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton told WHNT that the investigation was turned over to the SBI because the alleged incident involves a family member of a sheriff’s office employee.
