Carolina Teacher Arrested for Sex with Student

(Greer, South Carolina) A 31-year-old teacher formerly at Greer High School, Jessica Ruth Bollinger, has been arrested for sexual battery of a student.

The arrest warrant states Bollinger, 31, committed sexual battery with a 17 year old boy between October of 2012 and June of this year.

The Greer Police Department incident report says Bollinger was called to the school principal's office after the allegation was made.

The principal sent statements from Bollinger and several students who had been told about the relationship to Greer Police.
