Baton Rouge, LOUISIANA

Apr 9, 2007 - Jamie Armstrong, 23, a Tara High School teacher, was arrested accused of having sexual relations with a 16-year-old female student.

About a month ago the father read in his daughter’s journal that she had sexual encounters with Armstrong. The girl told her father the stories were not true, but only fantasy.

The girl left a note last week saying she was running away. She agreed to meet her father at a restaurant. A deputy accompanied the father and arrested Armstrong when the student left her apartment.

Armstrong and the girl admitted to having a sexual relationship since February, Raiford’s release says. Armstrong reportedly told deputies that she knew the relationship was inappropriate because she is a teacher and the girl is a student. But she said she thought the girl was 17.

Deputies booked Armstrong on one count each of felonly carnal knowledge of a juvenile and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Full Name: Jamie Lynn Armstrong

Armstrong is on paid leave. Reportedly, the 16-year-old girl was not in Armstrong's class, but Armstrong tutored her several times a week.

Apr 19 - No more paid leave. The school board fired Armstrong. Tara High was the first teaching job for Armstrong, a 2006 LSU graduate. She is not tenured, which made the firing so much easier.
