63-Year-Old Teacher Arrested For Having Sex With Teen Student

A 63-year-old high school teacher in North Carolina was arrested on late Thursday, on Halloween for having sex with her 17-year-old student, police said.

Emma Neil Ogle, a veteran teacher of Garinger High School in Charlotte, was taken into custody hours after the alleged victim, 46 years younger than her, reported about her probable conduct to the school staffers. She was released from jail the following morning after she paid a $10,000 bail bond, jail records show.

The duo began a relationship last spring which grew sexual over the summer, law enforcement officials, said.

She is now facing the charges of carrying out a sexual act with a student, felony indecent liberties with a student, and a crime against nature, NY Post reported.

Ogle started her career as a teacher with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools’ Vance High School and joined as a career and technical health occupations teacher at Garinger High School in 2014. There is no concrete proof that the sex act happened within the school premises, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools told WCNC.

“It’s just disgusting. It’s shocking and disgusting,” Edward Ramon, a senior at the Garinger High School, told the station. He said that the allegations would likely show the school in a bad light to the prospective students. “It just makes the school look bad, I think she should go to prison for that.”

“I was in a state of shock. I really was because my child goes here and I’ve had two others come out of here,” Tychovia Whitmire, a parent, said.

New York Post’s attempts to reach Ogle early Tuesday for comment were proved futile.

Ogle now remains suspended with pay, a school district spokeswoman told New York Post on Friday.
