Teacher faces sex chargesWoman accused of having sex with elementary school pupil, 11By KATRINA A. JACKSONThe Associated PressLAURENS — An elementary school teacher was arrested Friday and charged with two counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor after a parent claimed the woman had sex with one of her 11-year-old students, Laurens authorities said.
Wendie A. Schweikert, 36, of Belton resigned from her teaching position at E.B. Morse Elementary School around noon Friday and was arrested, Police Chief Robin Morse said. She had been an employee of the school district for nine years, he said.
Schweikert is accused of having sex with a pupil at the school at least twice, Morse said.
Schweikert had no criminal history and no prior complaints were made against her, Morse said. “She had been a good employee and a good teacher before this from what I understand.”
Authorities said Schweikert remained in jail Friday afternoon and a bond hearing was set for today. A message left at her home was not returned Friday evening. The prosecutor did not know who Schweikert’s lawyer would be but said more charges might be filed in the case.
Officials at Laurens School District 55 said the allegations were made late Thursday by the boy’s mother.
“This is an unfortunate situation that is being taken seriously,” district superintendent Edgar Taylor said in a news release. “The administration of the district stands firm in its belief that student safety is of the utmost importance. This type of behavior is not acceptable and will not be tolerated in the district.”
Stacey Hill, a Laurens County resident who has a child in the school district, called the incident “very disappointing.”
“It’s a shame that we can’t send our children to school and them be safe with the teachers, the ones we entrust to care for them during the day,” Hill said.
