Teacher Arrested for Field Trip Sex with Boy

(Raleigh, NC) A 44-year-old history teacher, Janet Klatt, was arrested and charged in Wake County for having sex with a 16-year-old male student. Although Klatt taught at the Cannon School, a private institution outside Charlotte, the alleged sex occurred on an overnight field trip in a Raleigh hotel room.

Klatt was released after posting $5,000 bond on Monday. She was instructed to have no contact with the victim and to surrender her passport. If convicted of the sex offense, Klatt faces a possible four years in prison. Klatt is scheduled to appear for a probable cause hearing in Wake County District Court on June 13.

Cannon School administrators indicate that Klatt was fired from her teaching position.
