Sunday, February 22 2026 - A high school teacher in Georgia, United States of America, has been arrested on suspicion of m0lesting a student at her school, authorities have confirmed.
Danielle Weaver, 29, turned herself in to the Lee County
Sheriff's Office after an arrest warrant was issued earlier this week. She has
been charged with child m0lestation and improper s3xual contact.
The allegations were first reported to law enforcement on
February 3 by officials at Lee County High School. Police have identified the
alleged victim as a student under the age of 18. While the exact age has not
been publicly disclosed, local reports suggest the student may be 15.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) launched a probe
following the report. An arrest warrant was issued on Tuesday, February 17, and
Weaver surrendered to authorities the following day. She was later released on
a $50,000 bond, according to local media.
In a statement, the Lee County School System confirmed that
the teacher had resigned from her position. School officials said they acted
immediately upon learning of the allegations to safeguard students.
“We can confirm that
there is an ongoing legal investigation involving law enforcement concerning
the alleged conduct of a former staff member who is no longer working for the
district,” the statement said. The district added that individuals directly affected
had been contacted and that it would continue to cooperate fully with
investigators.
Authorities say the investigation remains ongoing. Once
completed, the case file will be forwarded to the Southwestern Judicial Circuit
District Attorney’s
