A 32-year-old high school teacher has been accused of taking indecent liberties with a student in Virginia, PEOPLE confirms.
According to a brief press release issued late last week by the York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office, Kristen McAllister, 32, allegedly engaged in an ongoing and inappropriate relationship with an underage student.
The illicit relationship allegedly started in late 2021.
"The investigation began after the York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office received a report of an inappropriate relationship between a teacher and students," reads the statement, noting that the investigation into McAllister's alleged actions continues.
The English teacher, who worked at Tabb High School in Yorktown, was charged with two felony counts of taking indecent liberties with a child by a person in a custodial or supervisory relationship and two misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
She has not entered pleas to the charges and was released on bond.
Attempts to reach McAllister for comment on Monday were unsuccessful.
At this point, only one victim has been identified.
In a statement, the York County School Division confirmed it learned of the allegations Wednesday evening, and immediately turned that information over to police.
"The York County School Division and Tabb High School take the safety and well-being of our students seriously," the statement reads. "Our hiring procedures involve mandatory and thorough background checks and fingerprint clearance. We expect that our staff conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times, and any time there is a question of safety or misconduct, we immediately investigate."
