According to a Facebook post from the sheriff’s office, Sheriff Becket Breaux launched an investigation into Noel Jan. 28 after receiving a complaint she was having “an inappropriate relationship with one of her former students.”
Noel was a teacher at Teche Elementary School at the time.
With assistance from the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation and Homeland Security Investigations, there was enough evidence to arrest the former teacher on four counts of indecent behavior with juveniles and four counts of computer-aided solicitation of a minor, authorities said.
Authorities also said additional charges were added after another unnamed victim was identified.
The ages of the former teacher’s victims were not revealed.
Noel was booked into the St. Martin Parish Correctional Center on Monday, where records show she is still being held.
