ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - A former Dougherty County teacher was arrested and bonded out on sex assault charges on Tuesday.
Audrianna Williams, 31, was arrested on two counts of sexual assault by teacher/principal/asst principal/other adm. She posted a $2,000 bond Tuesday afternoon.
The Dougherty County School System issued the following statement Tuesday afternoon in light of her charges:
“Audrianna Williams, a former Dougherty County School System teacher, was charged by the Dougherty County School System Police Department with two counts of Sexual assault by persons with supervisory or disciplinary authority (O.C.G.A.16-6-5.1). The charges were filed as the result of an investigation into allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a student.”
Last week, Williams resigned her position in lieu of termination by the Dougherty County Board of Education.”
On Wednesday, Dec. 13, a Dougherty County teacher was placed on administrative leave. A statement released by the Dougherty County School System said the discipline was connected to a “possible inappropriate relationship between a Monroe Comprehensive High School teacher and student.”
If Williams is found guilty of those charges she could potentially be facing one to 20 years in prison for each count.
