This story started as a "teacher may have kissed a student" tale, to one where it's now allegedly a female teacher, Shannon Lynn Best, at Sanderson High School in North Carolina, getting involved with possibly more than one female student. According to cops, Best admitted to that that she kissed and fondled an 18-year-old female student who she invited over to her house for a sleep over and also sent the student nude photos of herself on her cell phone.

According to the warrant, Shannon Lynn Best, 29, admitted to having a relationship with the girl lasting three to four weeks.

Best resigned Monday after being accused of having sex with the 18-year-old girl over the weekend. Under North Carolina law, the student-teacher relationship is off-limits for intimate behavior, even if the student is a legal adult. The state statute makes it a felony to take “indecent liberties with a victim who is a student, at any time ... before the victim ceases to be a student.”
Upon learning of the teacher's resignation on Monday, many parents of Sanderson High students said the news was appalling. David Setser of Raleigh said he didn’t feel “real good” about the news. He has a 15-year-old daughter at Sanderson. His daughter, Hannah, said it was “disturbing.” “I didn't find out until second period and I just found it very disturbing,” she said.
