Female teacher at highly religious school arrested for allegedly making love to teenage student

Alabama: A female teacher at a highly religious faith school has been arrested for allegedly having sex with a teenage student.

Christina Busby is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student, according to authorities.

Officers at the Mobile County sheriff's office in Alabama arrested the former Faith Academy teacher.

The Sheriff's Office said the 33-year-old was no longer working at Faith Academy when authorities arrested her Tuesday.

A tip off arrived with police suggesting something was going on between the now ex-teacher and teenager.

An investigation was launched, said sheriff spokesman Lori Myles.

She said detectives believe Busby had sexual contact with the lad in Wilmer on at least two occasions in March this year.

The student's mother discovered the relationship when she uncovered inappropriate text messages, deputies told Al.com.

The teenager was not Busby's student at time but was attending Faith Academy.

Deputies booked Busby into Mobile County Metro Jail on two counts of being a school employee and engaging in a sexual act with a student under 19 years old.

The former educator is expected to appear before a District Court judge for a bond hearing.
