- South Carolina high school teacher Kinsley Wentzky has been charged with sexual battery after police she both she and the student she's accused of sleeping of admitted to an affair. Wentzky, 34, allegedly engaged in intercourse with an unidentified 17-year-old male student on several occasions without coercion or force.

The two engaged in sexual activity at least once on May 1 in a house, who's owner is not specified in the reports. In South Carolina, the age of consent is 16. An investigation into the pair's relationship is ongoing.
An arrest warrant for the teacher was served Friday afternoon. She was booked that day and a judge issues a $5,000 personal recognizance bond. Dreher High School's website lists her as an English teacher at the school. She describes herself as a happily married mother of two on her class web page and has been teaching at the school for seven years.
