The pair subsequently met in her classroom after school on April 17, when she allegedly “closed the blinds” on her door. The two then allegedly “made out” for 10-15 minutes while the student “pretend[ed] he was on a computer working” in case anyone walked in, say police in the release.
Little was arrested Friday and appeared in court over the weekend.
According to jail records, Little is no longer in custody.
