Malvern, AR -- A Malvern High School teacher was arrested Tuesday morning for sexual assault for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a student.

Heather Carter, 30, of Alexander is accused of having the sexual relationship with a 17-year-old female student. Police say they contacted Carter's attorney and she turned herself in Tuesday morning.

Malvern police say Carter was a teacher during the 2005-2006 school year at Malvern High School. According to the affidavit, Malvern Public Schools Superintendent Ron Holt “came to the MPD (Malvern Police Department) to advise of a relationship that was discovered between a Malvern High School teacher and a 17-year-old student who had just graduated this year.”

The affidavit says their alleged relationship began in January of 2006 and continued until May 2006. It says their physical relationship began in mid-March.

The receptionist for Malvern Public Schools, Barbara Taylor, says Carter resigned and the school board accepted her resignation.

Carter was released on a $3,000 bond. Her plea and arraignment is set for June 21 in Hot Spring County Circuit Court.

An edited version by police [to protect the identity of the juvenile] of the affidavit submitted by Sgt. Doroteo DelaCruz, the investigating officer, is below:
