A former Lee County 9th Grade Teacher in Georgia turned herself in on Wednesday on charges of child molestation and sexual assault by a teacher, principal or other administrator.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) confirmed that the former teacher is Danielle Olivia Weaver, 29.

Female educator caught straddling boy in car by school surveillance video
Social media described the educator as being recently married with two young children and allegedly caught on school surveillance video straddling and kissing a 15-year-old male student in her car.
Another student also allegedly witnessed Weaver with the student and told classmates, which widely spread through the school, prompting an investigation earlier this month.
Warrants were reportedly taken out for Weaver’s arrest by the GBI following the investigation. She turned herself in Wednesday morning, WALB reported citing local officials.
Posted the recently married teacher on her Facebook Wall: ‘One whole year spent with the love of my life! There is absolutely no other person I would want to spend this life with other than you, Caleb. I am thankful for God sending me a man to love and take care of me the way that you do. I look forward to all of the many blessings to come with you!’
Recent resignation and letter to concerned parents following rumors circulating
The educator’s arrest comes two weeks after the Lee County School System sending out a statement to parents on February 5 addressing rumors of inappropriate relations between a teacher and a student. The letter also came out two days after Weaver resigning her post with the Lee County Board of Education.
