Female teacher, Alexa Wingerter, 35, is arrested after sending nude pics via text to students and having sex with at least one 18-year-old student
Alexa Wingerter, a 35-year-old female teacher from Louisiana, has been arrested after allegations surfaced that she sent naked photos to her students and engaged in sexual relations with at least one of them.
Authorities began investigating Wingerter in early March following complaints about her behavior with male students. She taught at Slidell High School, a public institution with approximately 1,700 students.
Through interviews and search warrants, investigators discovered that Wingerter had been sending inappropriate photos and messages to students via social media. Additionally, sources revealed that she provided alcohol to underage students at local bars. Most concerning, evidence indicated that Wingerter had a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old male student while she was his teacher.
The subject Wingerter taught at the school remains unclear.
In response to her arrest, the St. Tammany School Board issued a statement emphasizing their commitment to student safety. Superintendent Frank Jabbia stated, “Any allegations of inappropriate conduct are taken very seriously and are reported directly to law enforcement officials. We have strict policies in place to ensure that any behavior compromising the safety of our students is not tolerated. We will continue to prioritize the safety of our students above all else.”
Wingerter faces charges related to prohibited sexual conduct between an educator and a student, as well as the unlawful purchase of alcoholic beverages on behalf of a person under 21, according to WDSU.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are encouraging any additional victims to come forward.
