Police arrested Cara Alexander, a 27-year-old English teacher at Woodside High School, last Friday following an investigation into allegations made by the parents of a 17-year-old student. According to ABC local affiliaté WVEC, the boy's parents told police that they found nudé photos of the teacher on their son's phone last Tuesday.

According to court documents obtained by North Carolina CBS affiliate WTKR, the student in question told police that he had had séx with the teacher more than 20 times since last summer. The documents state that Alexander initiatéd contact with the student by giving him her cell phone number.

Students at the school told the station they were surprised that Alexander, whom they described as "calm" and "friendly," would be involved in such allegations.
