Another teacher arrested on sex charges at La. high school
ST. CHARLES PARISH, La. -- Another teacher at the same suburban New Orleans high school rocked by a student/teacher sex scandal in 2014 has been accused of having sex with a student, according to CBS affiliate WWLTV.
Kimberly Naquin, a geography teacher at Destrehan High in St. Charles Parish, is accused of having sex with a female student at her Kenner apartment complex between August of 2014 and September of 2015, officials with the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office and Kenner Police Department said Friday.
St. Charles Parish officials say an undetermined amount of incidents also happened in a classroom at the high school and a Destrehan home.
Naquin, 26, was reportedly booked Thursday on charges of carnal knowledge of a juvenile - also known as statutory rape -- and a misdemeanor charge of prohibited sexual conduct between educator and student. She also faces 10 counts of felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile out of Kenner, police spokesman Lt. Brian McGregor of Kenner Police told NOLA.com.
Officials found out about the alleged relationship when a student's family member reported it to them Wednesday, officials said.
"The school system is fully cooperating with the Sheriff's Office," said a statement released to WWLTV from Stevie Crovetto, director of public information of St. Charles Parish Public Schools.
He said Naquin has been suspended without pay in accordance with district policy pending the outcome of an investigation.
Naquin's bond was set at $75,000.
It's not the first time allegations of inappropriate conduct have surfaced at the school. Two female teachers there were arrested in 2014 after being accused of inviting a 16-year-old boy to one of their apartments for a sexual encounter. One of them, 33-year-old Shelley Dufresne, faces two counts of carnal knowledge of a juvenile.
Dufresne will be tried in Jefferson Parish alongside 25-year-old Rachel Respess, who earlier pleaded not guilty to a charge of failure to report Dufresne's alleged crime.
Dufresne was also charged in St. Charles Parish and has agreed to a plea deal to avoid having to register as a sex offender.
