Therese Gunn
A now-former Gwinnett County high school teacher has been charged with sexual assault. According to police investigation, the woman identified as Therese Gunn, 53 has been having s*x with a 17-year-old student.
Police also accused her of smoking marijuana with several students after inviting them to her home.
According to Gwinnett County police, Gunn, a teacher at South Gwinnett High School since 2002, began her illicit relationship in March. Sexual activity allegedly "occurred at the school, at the teacher's residence and at Lenora Park," police said.
But, things took a turn for Gunn when the boy's mother learnt about the incident and reported the relationship to police.
Gunn resigned the day before, officials said. She turned herself in Friday evening and was released Saturday on $21,700 bond, Gwinnett County jail records showed.
The detective assigned to the case "discovered that the teacher hosted a party at her home in Grayson," police said in a Monday morning news release.
"During the party, the teacher allowed the 17-year-old and two other female students to smoke marijuana under her direct supervision. According to the detective, the teacher smoked marijuana as well."
"We take allegations like this very seriously, the safety of our students is a priority," Gwinnett County Public Schools spokesman Bernard Watson said in an email Monday. "When we learned about the allegations against Ms. Gunn, we investigated them immediately.
During the course of that investigation, Ms. Gunn resigned. The matter is now in the hands of police and prosecutors and we are confident that the case will be handled in the appropriate manner."
