Alabama Teacher, 31, Accused of Sexting Student, 14

(Leeds, Alabama) A 31-year-old eighth-grade English teacher formerly at Leeds Middle School, Ashley Casiday, has been accused of sexting a 14-year-old male student.

Casiday faces one count of transmitting obscene material to a child.

The eighth-grade English teacher submitted her resignation amid the investigation in February.

The Leeds Board of Education met in a special emergency meeting to accept that resignation. That investigation was handled by the Leeds police and the state Department of Human Resources because of a possible inappropriate relationship with a student.

Casiday is the latest in a string of Alabama teachers arrested for the inappropriate contact with students.

Casiday was booked into custody at the St. Clair County Jail and subsequently released on $100,000 bond.
