High school teacher caught cheating on her husband with male student seven months after getting married

Alabama, US: Female teacher arrested after being caught cheating on her husband with her student.

A married high school teacher has been arrested amid claims she had sex with an 18-year-old male student.

Jessica Bonnett Acker, 23, is believed to have got married in May last year.

According to reports, Acker was in a relationship with the boy while teaching at Bryant High School in Cottondale, Alabama, US.

A warrant was issued for her arrest after both she and the teenager were quizzed by police.

The following day, she turned herself into authorities and was charged with engaging in a sex act or deviant sexual intercourse with a student under the age of 19.

Acker handed her resignation into the Tuscaloosa City School District after the alleged affair was made public, AL.com reported.

She was reportedly taken to the Tuscaloosa County Jail, where her bail bond was set at $5,000 (£3,300).

A Facebook profile, which has since been deleted, showed numerous photos of her wedding on May 31.

In a statement, the school district said: "The Tuscaloosa City School System learned of these allegations Tuesday, January 6, at which time an investigation was immediately conducted by both the Tuscaloosa Police Department and Tuscaloosa City School officials.

"The following day, January 7, the Board of Education accepted the resignation of the teacher involved."
