A North Carolina teacher who was charged with having sex with one of her students was arrested again after investigators learned she’d had the same student over her home nine times since she was placed under house arrest, police said.
Elizabeth Suzanne Bailey, 36, was originally arrested on three felony sex charges, including statutory rape of a victim 15 years old or younger, after investigators from the Irridell County Sherriff’s Office learned of reports that she had had sexual relations with the student in June, according to the Irridell Free Press.
Bailey turned herself in on Aug. 1 and was released on a $75,000 bond and placed under house arrest with electronic monitoring — with the condition that she stay away from the student, the Sheriff’s Office said.
She was arrested again on Sept. 2 after police learned of the additional meet-ups.
Bailey was booked at the Iredell County Detention Center, where she was served with an additional 27 charges, including nine counts of misdemeanor contributing to the delinquency of a minor; nine counts of felony intimidating or interfering with a state witness; and nine counts of felony violation of pretrial release conditions.
She is currently being held on an $800,000 secured bond.
Bailey worked at Northview Academy in the Iredell-Statesville School District as a science teacher, the Irridell Free Press reported. She began working in the district as an assistant in 2010 and additionally worked as a special education teacher.
Science teacher, eh? Obviously, she specialized in biology.
