In yet another disgusting example of the moral rot infecting America’s public schools, a 25-year-old female teacher at Alexander High School in Douglas County, Georgia, has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting one of her students.
Maris Nichols, a biology teacher and director of the football program, was taken into custody Thursday and booked into the Douglas County Jail on two felony counts of sexual assault by a person in a position of supervisory or disciplinary authority, according to jail records and local reports.
According to arrest warrants obtained by multiple outlets, Nichols allegedly had intercourse with the underage student on two separate occasions: once on April 23 inside a school closet at Alexander High School, and again on May 2 inside a Hummer parked at the end of a driveway in a Douglasville residential community.
