Three people have been indicted by a grand jury in Cherokee County, North Carolina, in separate cases charging them with child sex offenses.
High school teacher Kayla Alayne Sprinkles, 26, was indicted on five counts of sexual activity with a student after an investigation that began in late March, according to a news release from the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office.
The release didn’t say which high school Sprinkles taught at or what triggered the investigation.
Sprinkles learned of the indictments, possibly through social media, and left Cherokee County, according to the sheriff’s office. She turned herself in to the Mecklenburg County Detention Center and was released on a $25,000 bond.
A convicted child sex offender was arrested on new charges after the grand jury met June 4, according to a news release from the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, North Carolina.
