Asheville, NC – A North Carolina teacher’s assistant is facing charges after she allegedly had sex with an 18-year-old student.
Twenty-two-year-old Heather Shelton is accused of having a sexual relationship with a high school senior at the school she worked at, North Buncombe High School. Even though the student is not a minor, it is a felony for school employees to have any sexual activity with students according to North Carolina law.
Shelton did not teach the 18-year-old student.
Buncombe County Schools fired Shelton from her job last week. At her first court appearance on Monday, a judge informed Shelton that if convicted, she faces up to 44 months in prison.
