Carolina Teacher Accused of Sex with Student

(Warsaw, North Carolina) A 31-year-old teacher formerly at James Kenan High School, Emily Efird, has been accused of engaging in sexual relations with a student.

Efird faces three counts of sex offense with a student, two counts of indecent liberties and one count of crime against nature.

School district officials said they learned on April 8 about the allegations.

Efird was suspended and she resigned a week later, school officials said.

Notably, Emily Efird's husband, 38-year-old John S. Efird, was convicted in 2002 on a charge of taking indecent liberties with a minor and ordered to register as a sex offender.

Emily Efird was booked into custody and released on $25,000 bond.
