ST. JOSEPH, Mich. (AP) — A former high school teacher in southwestern Michigan faces criminal sexual conduct charges following an investigation into reports of an inappropriate relationship with a student.
The St. Joseph Public Safety Department says Monday that the 26-year-old woman has been arrested and jailed.
The case has been turned over to the Berrien County prosecutor's office.
