The parents accused 35-year-old teacher Sarah Huggins Logan of a sexual relationship with their child.

In addition to investigating all homicides and assaults in the county, the VCU also handles almost all sex crimes in the region.

Kennedy said they took over the investigation, conducted interviews and recovered evidence before obtaining a warrant for Logan.

Logan was arrested Friday, and Kennedy said she is charged with one count of a School Employee Engaging in a Sex Act and placed in the Tuscaloosa County Jail.

"The investigation is ongoing, and more charges are expected. There is a possibility of other victims, and anyone who was a victim or has further information is encouraged to contact the Violent Crimes Unit at (205) 464-8690."

Kennedy said the school worked with the VCU on the investigation and Logan is no longer employed there.
