32-year-old Christie David, a language arts teacher at a high-school in Cleveland, Tennessee, was fired for having an inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old student.

David has a good reputation among teachers at Walker Valley High, since joining the school in October 2011. She is married and also teaches a spin class at the local YMCA.

According to the Cleveland Banner, the Criminal Investigations Division of the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office begun looking into Christie when they received an anonymous tip. The investigation started on September 27.

“Findings of the investigation were presented in a session of the Bradley County Grand Jury and an indictment was issued accusing David of having an inappropriate relationship with a male, a 15-year-old former student,” Bob Gault, media relations coordinator for BCSO stated.

The woman was fired, arrested and indicted by a Bradley County Grand Jury, and has posted bail of $10,000 (€7,700).

I have known Christie since Middle School and she has always been a bubbly person. Just because someone enjoys life and always smiles and hugs everyone doesn't mean they are out prowling the streets. I agree it might be slightly too risky to hug the opposite sex in school especially if you are a teacher but she is a very sweet girl who probably wasn't thinking anything of it. Until all the facts are brought to the table I stand by my opinion that she did not do what she is being accused of and for whatever reason this young man has serious issues that include lying. He's off somewhere getting high- fived by his friends and meanwhile Christie will be slandered for life no matter what. God is the only one who knows the truth. Such a sad day when some kid with nothing better to do can start such an uproar. I think we should all be cautious with our children but gossip is poison and next time you think something negative about someone you DO NOT know remember it could be you. Anyone can start a rumor. Imagine yourself surrounded by people who think no matter what rumors are true and they talk about you behind your back, or gossip in a comment to others or see you smile at someone and automatically think you are having an affair. Christie adores teaching and she does care for her students but she would NEVER do that. I do not care what you or the media thinks. I know she is innocent. End of story.
