A 27-year old (former) CMS teacher, Amanda Maria Athey, (R) was charged today after a father contacted police and told them Athey was having sex with his 16-year old daughter. The girl's father provided police with lots of proof... e-mails, online chats and recorded telephone calls between Athey and his teen daughter.Police obtained a search warrant and Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Deputies raided Athey's townhouse looking for evidence to collaborate the evidence the father provided. Police seized computers, phones, writings, photo albums and photos of the victim from Athey's home.
Amanda Athey was a freshman English teacher at Hopewell Valley High School in Huntersville. She was suspended by CMS when the sex allegations arose. Yesterday, Athey resigned from her teaching position.
Athey turned herself in to police this afternoon after she learned police had warrants for her arrest. She is charged with sexual activity between a teacher and student & three counts of taking indecent liberties with a child. The magistrate set her bond at $4,000.
Police say the incidents took place in Cabarrus County and Mecklenburg County but it is unclear how they will proceed with the case. Photo & Article: @ The Charlotte Observer
