MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A former special education teacher at Lewisburg High School is facing charges of fondling by a person of trust in a case involving a student, according to DeSoto County court documents.
Natalia Wright was arrested Tuesday and has since bonded out on a $200,000 bond, according to DeSoto County jail records. She has a court date set for June 6.
Authorities say Wright is accused of physical touching and communications, and providing the child a ride to school in her personal vehicle on several occasions.
Her husband allegedly caught her on a recording admitting to kissing the student two or three times while tutoring him at his residence.
Additional witnesses told authorities they saw Wright kissing and “making out” with the student at various locations, including the parking lots of a Taco Bell and a church.
Authorities say Wright was allowed to resign from the school on April 3.
DeSoto County Schools has not responded to a request for comment.
