Texas Teacher Accused of Improper Relationship

(Brown County, Texas) A 46-year-old math teacher at Cross Plains High School, Kimberly O’Briant, has been accused of engaging in an improper relationship with a 15-year-old male student.

O'Briant has been indicted on a charge of improper relationship with a student.
Scott Bird, investigator with the Brown County Sheriff's Office, said school officials contacted him around the beginning of the year about the alleged misconduct.

Bird said he could only say that the student was a juvenile, and that he could not disclose the boy's age.

"I interviewed the juvenile and several teachers and other students," he said. "Through the investigation, we learned of improper texting messages and phone calls. A (Brown County) grand jury indicted Ms. O'Briant last week."

He said O'Briant was placed on administrative leave — with pay — a "couple of months ago."
O'Briant is free on $20,000 bond.
