Missouri Teacher Accused of Sex with Boy

(Jefferson County, Missouri) A 28-year-old substitute teacher at the Northwest R-1 School District, Amanda Miner, was arrested for allegedly engaging in sexual activity with a 16-year-old male student.

Miner is charged with one count each of statutory sodomy and statutory rape.

The male high school student, 16, alleged he had sex with Miner on three occasions at her home earlier this fall. He said Miner invited him over to play video games, and that the two later would have sex.

Miner was not the boy's teacher, school officials said. They believe the two met outside school grounds.

Miner was booked and released on $25,000.
