A 29-year-old teacher has been charged with having sex with one of her former pupils and sending him sexually explicit text messages.
Heather Lasseigne Chiasson is alleged to have begun a relationship with a 17 year old boy from her English class.
Investigators said the boy admitted to the affair and said it had become with flirting but ended up with him sleeping with his teacher.
The teen also showed detectives a series of sexually explicit text messages that he had been sent by Ms Chiasson.
The English teacher has refused to talk to police about the alleged affair but she was immediately suspended from her position at South Laforche High School in Louisiana.
'The Lafourche Parish School Board takes very seriously all such allegations and will swiftly act to take appropriate administrative action,' Lafourche Parish Schools Superintendent Jo Ann Matthews, said.
'She has been suspended from her position with the Lafourche Parish School Board, pending the results of the investigation of the allegations made against her.
'Once the school district’s personnel department and the school’s administration complete an investigation, a final determination of her employment status will be announced.”
It is believed a tip off to school chiefs led to the investigation into the teacher-student affair.
When police examined the teen's cell phone they found messages that were of a 'graphic sexual nature'.
Chiasson was charged with prohibited misdemeanor sexual conduct between an educator and student.
She was charged with a misdemeanor rather than a felony charges because of the student's age.
