A North Carolina middle school teacher has been arrested for allegedly having sex with a 12-year-old student.
Brianna Nicole Stanley, 23, was charged on Friday with multiple sex crimes related to the student at Carver Middle School in Laurel Hill.
Stanley resigned from her teaching job on Thursday before she was arrested.
A parent had contacted the school last week with allegations that Stanley was having an inappropriate relationship with the child.
The gender of the child is not known.
The school immediately removed her from the classroom and Scotland County Sheriff's Office started investigating.
Stanley was charged with three counts of felony statutory sex offense against a child less than 13, five counts of felony indecent liberties with a student by a teacher, five counts of felony sexual activity by a teacher, and one count of felony third-degree child exploitation related to child pornography.
Authorities had posted about her arrest on the sheriff's Facebook account but later removed the post due to an influx of inappropriate statements about the child and teacher.
