The Taney County prosecutor filed charges against a former teacher accused of sexual contact with a student.
Investigators say they received information Katelyn Hester was having sex with a Forsyth High School student, in July of 2021, while she was employed by the school district.
Investigators say they talked to the 18-year-old student in October, who told them he and Hester had consensual sex six or seven times last school year in a wooded, secluded part of Kirbyville.
Investigators say Hester admitted to having sex, but only one time.
