teacher charged with having sex with 11-year-old student

    Police say an E.B. Morse Elementary School teacher in Laurens was arrested Friday and charged with two counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor after a parent claimed the woman had sex with one of her 11-year-old students.

    Police say the married teacher had at least three sexual encounters with her student since Christmas. In a statement to police, the student said they "had sex on her desk" at one time, and another time, there were about "six other children in the classroom."

    Police Chief Robin Morse says that 36-year-old Wendie A. Schweikert of Belton resigned from her teaching position at EB Morse Elementary School around noon. He says she had been an employee of the school district for nine years.


    Morse says Schweikert is accused of having sex with the pupil at the school. He says Schweikert had no criminal history and no prior complaints were made against her.
