GOLDSBORO, N.C. -- A Wayne County teacher has been arrested and charged with a felony for allegedly having sex with an 18-year-old male student.

 

Laurie Spurlock, 36, of Goldsboro, a teacher at Charles B. Aycock High School, turned herself in to authorities Thursday afternoon after the Wayne County Public School System asked the sheriff's office to investigate.

 

The relationship was reported to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office as having occurred between mid-September 2005 and January 2006, but the alleged accusations against Spurlock did not occur on school property, according to authorities.

 

Spurlock, who is listed as an English teacher on the Wayne County school system's Web site, was charged with two counts of felony sexual offense with a student. Secured bond has been set at $15,000.

 

The case, according to the sheriff's office, is still under investigation.

 

 

It's not right, IMO, ... but the legal age of consent in NC is 16. :huh
