Moon Township, Pennsylvania police say they have charged a former teacher in the Moon Area School District for allegedly sending inappropriate text messages and nude photos of herself to a teenager. Investigators say 26-year-old Beth Ann Chester is facing several charges including endangering the welfare of children, corruption of minors and three counts of sexual abuse of children.
Police say they are shocked by the case.
"We investigate all kinds of crimes out here. In my history at the police department, this has never happened before," said Sgt. Alan Morrow, of the Moon Township police department. "You hear of it on the national news, happening in large cities. Well, it happened right here in our town."
Last week, police say Chester, a ninth grade physical education and health teacher, resigned from her job.
According to police, the school district has turned over Chester's computer to officials.
Also, investigators say they seized a cell phone from the teen, a 14-year-old male student
