Tennessee Teacher Accused of Rape

(Pulaski, Tennessee) A 32-year-old 6th-grade teacher at Richland School, Ashley Lynn Raines, has been arrested for allegedly raping a 17-year-old girl.

Raines faces a charge of aggravated statutory rape. Raines' fiance, Johnathan Richard Herremans, faces criminal responsibility of aggravated statutory rape because he didn't report the offense.

According to the police, the victim is not one of Raines' students. The alleged offenses reportedly occurred last July and police suggest that more charges may be filed.

Raines was booked into custody. A bail amount hasn't been reported.
