A North Carolina high school teacher was arrested Wednesday for allegedly sexually abusing a student, police said.
Britney Marie Vernon, 39, was hit with three counts of felony indecent liberties with a student and three counts of felony sex acts with a student, according to the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office.
The disturbing assault allegations against the Randleman High School teacher were first reported on July 1.
Police did not share the details or disclose if more than one student was allegedly targeted by Vernon, but said the accusations were troubling enough to issue a warrant.
The sheriff also did not clarify whether the alleged victim was Vernon’s student or their age.
She began her teaching career at Randleman High on August 21, 2023, but had been a part of the Randolph County School System since August 2018, a spokesperson told WFMY 2 News.
Vernon has since been suspended without pay.
She is being held on a $75,000 unsecured bond and is due back in court on Aug. 12.
Randleman is a city with a population of 4,600 and is 20 miles south of Greensboro.
