Boy Has Sleepover with Teacher

(Durham, NC) Last February, 43-year-old teacher at Chewning Middle School, Janet Briggs, was arrested for allegedly allowing a 14-year-old student to spend the night at her home more than once. After the first occasion, the boy's father alerted police.

According to Sgt. Will Oakley of the Durham County Sheriff's Office, both Briggs and the boy deny any sexual contact. Nonetheless, Briggs was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She was released on the misdemeanor charge without bond and ordered to have no contact with the boy and his family.
