CLINTON, S.C. - A 23-year-old female middle school teacher was arrested Wednesday, accused of having sex with five boys, authorities said.
Some of the 14- and 15-year-old victims were students at the school where Allenna Williams Ward taught; others went to a different school, Clinton Public Safety Director John Thomas said.
Investigators said there could be more victims.
Police began investigating Ward after a note containing inappropriate messages was given to school officials, Thomas said.
Ward was placed on administrative leave with pay last Thursday, acting district superintendent Laura Koskela said. A message left for the school's principal was not immediately returned Wednesday.
Ward is charged with five counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor in the second degree and six counts of lewd acts on a minor, according to arrest warrants.
