A Catholic high school teacher faces 15 years in prison for allegedly having sex with her teenage student in her office.
Emily Nutley, 42, a married mother-of-three, was charged with six counts of sexual battery and fired from St Xavier High School in Cincinnati.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers said Nutley met the 17-year-old boy when he was sent to a program for academically struggling students she ran.
They began texting after school hours last fall, and she allegedly sent him nude selfies and sexually explicit messages.

Powers alleged their relationship escalated to them having sex several times in mid-November, at least once in her office at the all-boys school after hours.
Nutley allegedly kept texting the student after he tried to break off the illicit affair.
St Xavier charges $18,130 a year in tuition, plus $300 in administrative fees, though financial aid is available.
The school discovered the alleged relationship and conducted an internal investigation, then notified Springfield Township police.
Nutley was fired as soon as the criminal investigation began, which led to her being indicted by a Hamilton County grand jury and arrested on Monday.
She joined the Jesuit school ahead of the 2021-22 year and was listed as the multi-tiered systems support coordinator in the student handbook.

"The kids that need the most love will ask for it in the most unloving ways". Be THAT person for THAT student, one post read.
Another post read: HELLO! 3rd graders! See someone alone, reach out and help, say hello.
Nutleys mother Cheryl Rose praised her daughter in a birthday post just a few months before the alleged relationship with the student began.
Emily, my sweet lovely fun loving girl. I love you so much honey. So proud of all the things you are, she began.
A good daughter, a great wife and loving mother and a wonderful advocate to all of your students.

KIND is COOL at Madeira Elementary! Nutley wrote next to this photo of her at her previous school
Nutley worked with young children at her previous school, but switched to teens at St Xavier
Nutley will face court on November 8.
This is absolutely unacceptable and reprehensible conduct from an adult towards a minor child, Powers said.
This child was in need of help and guidance but instead found an adult looking to act out her perverted sexual desires.
Powers said Nutleys alleged conduct was nothing short of child sexual abuse and would be fully and thoroughly prosecuted.
This child was the victim of an adult predator who should never again have a role that puts her in contact with children, she said.
She used this child for her own sexual gratification while taking advantage of the position she held.
St Xavier said it believed this case to be an isolated incident but urged any other students to contact police or Principal Dan Lynch if they were victims of a crime.
