Police did not share the details or disclose whether more than one student was allegedly targeted by Vernon, but said the accusations were troubling enough to issue a warrant.

The sheriff also did not clarify whether the alleged victim was Vernon’s student or their age.

The age of consent in North Carolina is 16.

Vernon is a career and technical education teacher within the high school’s health services department, according to its webpage.

Vernon has since been suspended without pay.

She is being held on a $75,000 unsecured bond and is due back in court on Aug. 12.

Randleman is a city with a population of 4,600 and is 20 miles south of Greensboro.
