Shocking charges against a local Catholic school teacher. She is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student.

Derek Valcourt has details of the arrest and the outrage.

The teacher was removed from her job and now faces criminal charges.

Science teacher Lynette Trotta, 33, is charged with sex abuse of a minor after an alleged affair with a 17-year-old student at Archbishop Curley High School.

The student told investigators the relationship started with texts and emails that eventually turned sexual in nature. Those texts led to kissing and other physical contact, at times inside Trotta’s classroom during school hours and also in her car after school hours.

“A librarian at the school was made aware of the situation. She reported it to the archdiocese, which then reported it to us,” said Lt. Eric Kowalczyk, Baltimore City Police.

School officials suspended Trotta from her job and they also suspended the school librarian who reported the inappropriate relationship on April 1.
