Teacher Alexa Wingerter, 35, is charged after claims she sent sexual images and ... trends now

A 35-year-old Louisiana teacher has been charged with engaging in inappropriate relationships with teenage boys.

Alexa Wingerter, 35, was arrested on Tuesday morning in connection with allegations of sexual relationships with students at Slidell High School, where she taught. 

An investigation was launched in early March after complaints were made alleging that Wingerter was having 'inappropriate relationships' with male students.

She sent sexual photographs and messages over text and various social media sites, according to Slidell police. 

After looking into the allegations, police found that Wingerter was involved in an inappropriate and sexual relationship was at least one 18-year-old male student - who she taught. 

Police confirmed that the 35-year-old Slidell woman 'acted in the capacity of the student's educator,' according to WDSU. 

On top of engaging in sexual relationships with her students - Wingerter was also purchasing alcohol for her students at local bars in Slidell, police found.

She was arrested on suspicion of prohibited sexual conduct between an educator and student as well as unlawfully purchasing alcoholic beverages on behalf on an underaged person. 

Social media shows that Wingerter appeared to be married to Philip Wingerter - with whom she shared at least two young children. 

The pair resided at a home in Slidell, which sits in Saint Tammany County. 

Wingerter's Linkedin suggests that she worked as a business specialist for a company called Netchex in Mandeville, Louisiana, so it is unclear in what capacity she was an educator for Slidell High School. 

The St. Tammany School Board issued a statement in regards to the teacher arrest: 'The safety and well-being of our students is our top priority. Our district has responded appropriately and is fully cooperating with the Slidell Police Department in their investigation.
