Under North Carolina law, it is illegal for a teacher to have sexual relations with a student, regardless of age. Consequently, had Shelton and the 18-year-old waited a few months to have sex, there would have been no prosecutable offense.
Shelton was fired from her teaching position a mere two months after launching her career. If convicted, Shelton faces a possible 10 months or more in prison. She was released with a promise to appear in court on Monday or pay $25,000 bond.
[Update 10/27/06]
Shelton arrested for theft.
