Local police in Charlotte say that a high school teacher was arrested for reportedly having s*x with a student.
Olivia Dennis, 26, was arrested on Monday, May 20. She is a teacher for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and used to work at Olympic High School.
On Monday, a School Resource Officer at the school was told about a possible inappropriate relationship between an 18-year-old student and a teacher.
Detectives from the CMPD’s Sexual Assault Unit were called to the high school and talked to Dennis there. The first interview went well, so she was arrested and taken to CMPD offices to be questioned further.
One of Dennis’s students told his teacher that he did three sexual acts with her. She has a $75,000 bond to stay at the Mecklenburg County Jail.
CMPD said they don’t think any of the claimed crimes happened on school grounds.
Dennis taught high school culinary arts as a CTE at Olympic. In November 2022, he was hired by CMS. Dennis has been taken off work with pay since Monday.
