An Indiana school employee is facing serious criminal charges after authorities say her husband unexpectedly walked in on her with an 18-year-old student, triggering an investigation that uncovered additional allegations involving a minor.
According to investigators, 31-year-old Alicia Hughes was later accused of having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student as well. Officials allege the encounters with the younger teen occurred multiple times.
Hughes has been charged with five counts of child seduction connected to the alleged relationship with the minor. Authorities have not released further details about the circumstances surrounding the case, but the investigation remains ongoing.
The case has sparked renewed concerns about boundaries between school staff and students and the responsibilities educators have to protect minors.
