N.C. Teacher Resigns in Same-Sex Scandal with Student

East Flat Rock, NC (TLS). The Henderson County, North Carolina town of East Flat Rock is the scene for the latest teacher sex scandal to hit the news wires. Julie Culbertson, who had taught at East Henderson High School in this N.C. mountain town, resigned her position after being charged with engaging in sexual activity with an under-age female student at the high school.

Henderson County law enforcement officials state that both the student and her parents are fully cooperating with their investigation.

Meanwhile, a group of students who support the popular Culbertson, staged a rally to urge school officials to rehire the teacher. School officials informed the students that the matter is entirely out of their hands, given that Culbertson resigned and is under investigation.

A court hearing for Culbertson's arraignment is scheduled for June.
