The school worker was taken into custody after officers confronted her over the alleged sexual abuse. It remained unclear what led up to the worker being confronted.
The school employee was booked after confessing to police the illicit liaison, with the woman charged with two counts of a school employee engaging in a sex act or deviant sexual intercourse with a student.
It is unclear how old the student was, with a court document obtained by WAFF noting that they were ‘enrolled in (her) school’ and is ‘under the age of 19.’
The age of consent in Alabama is 16 years old.
Nevertheless sex abuse charges are deemed attributable in instances involving alleged victims aged up to 18 if the suspect is an adult whose job it is to care of them.
Wigginton was booked into the Lauderdale County Jail and is being held on a $100,000 bond.
Records state that Wigginton waived her rights after her arrest and made a confession to authorities the dailymail reported.
In a statement following her arrest, the Lauderdale County School System said: ‘The Lauderdale County Board of Education is aware of the allegations, and the employee has been placed on administrative leave.
‘We will continue to cooperate with law enforcement officials, and have no further comment on this matter.’
