Arkansas Teacher Accused of Sex with Boy
[Previous 4/6/08 post]
(Texarkana, Arkansas) A 31-year-old teacher at Arkansas High School, Brenda Fant, was arrested this week for allegedly engaging in sexual relations with a 17-year-old male student.

The alleged sex reportedly occurred at a location not on school property. Fant faces a charge of first-degree sexual assault.

She was booked into custody at the Bi-State Jail. No information on bond has been reported.

A glance at the Arkansas High website indicates that Fant has been scrubbed from the faculty. It's assumed that she has been placed on suspension.
