Authorities Investigating Student/Teacher Relationship

Lincolnton Police detectives are investigating the possibility a student and teacher at Lincolnton High School are having an inappropriate relationship after being notified by school system officials.

Investigative Lt. Brian Greene said Lincoln County Schools superintendent Dr. David Martin contacted police after receiving information from the school about a possible sexual relationship between the student and a teacher.

Dr. Martin told police the school system has conducted its own internal investigation and determined there have been inappropriate text messages exchanged between the teacher and student. No charges have been filed in the case as of Friday.

Although the victim’s name, address and age are public record under the state’s Public Records Law, The Carolina Scoop is not revealing the information to protect the safety of the victim. The teacher’s name was not available in Lt. Greene’s report.

Police are continuing their investigation into the incident.
