Teacher Charged For Having Sex With 7 Students

A ninth-grade math teacher allegedly had sex with seven students, one of whom was below the age of consent.
DaNita Wilson, 32, was arrested Tuesday and charged with seven counts of sexual assault, reported CNN.
“Some of the (relationships) had been going on for at least one year or longer,” said Stacy Carson, assistant special agent for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.



 

Wilson’s bond was set at $35,000, or $5,000 for each student.

Wilson is accused of having sex with six students who are over 16-years-old, Georgia’s legal age of consent, and one 15-year-old student, Carson explained.
Wilson was suspended with pay from her job at Charlton County High School, pending a formal employment hearing, where the school district’s superintendent, John Lairsey, will recommend her termination.
“We’re just shocked and disappointed,” said Lairsey. “And it’s just hard to believe. Just disappointed and disheartened that people we put our trust in would violate that trust.”


 

Wilson was escorted to the police by Charlton County Schools Superindendent John Lairsey. She was given a letter explaining the terms of her suspension, which is with pay.

The school district started investigating the claims after receiving a complaint about Wilson, who has worked at the school for a decade.
“We received information within the school system,” he said. “The main meetings continued on Tuesday. At that point, we got the sheriff’s office and GBI involved, and (Wilson) was removed from class before lunch.”
Lairsey escorted her to police custody just before lunch and handed her a letter that explains her suspension, according to CNN.
Wilson’s bond was set at $35,000 — $5,000 for each case of sexual assault. Her court dates have not yet been scheduled.
