[Previous 5/3/14 post]
(Wilkesboro, North Carolina) A 24-year-old English teacher at West Wilkes High School, Kimberly Waddell Macemore, has been accused of engaging in sexual relations with two 17-year-old male West Wilkes students.

Macemore faces six felony counts of sexual offense with a student.

The sheriff’s department also charged Ms. Macemore with assisting a student in obtaining by fraudulent means a grade and four counts of giving alcohol to a person under age 21, all misdemeanor offenses.

Capt. Brandon Absher of the sheriff’s department said the charge involving a grade was filed after an investigation determined that Ms. Macemore wrote an English paper for a student, which was presented as the student’s own work and turned in for grading purposes.

Absher said the offenses involve the same two male students at West Wilkes, both 17 when they occurred.

Macemore was booked into custody at the Women’s Detention Center in North Wilkesboro and released on bond.
