(KNZA)--A former Hiawatha High School teacher has been arrested, accused of having unlawful sexual relations with a student.

Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says 24-year-old Gabrielle Bauman, of Fairview, was arrested Tuesday on one felony count of unlawful sexual relations.

Hill says the arrest followed an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department after a report was made to USD 415 administration in mid-June of this year.

He says their investigation included the execution of a search warrant and forensic review of several electronic devices by the Hiawatha Police Department's Digital Forensics Unit and the Heart of America Regional Computer Forensic Lab in Kansas City.

According to the criminal complaint, Bauman is accused of unlawfully engaging in consensual sexual intercourse or lewd fondling or touching of a student born in 1999.  

The criminal complaint alleges conduct covering a time-period from October 2016 through May 21, 2017, during which time Bauman was employed as a science teacher at Hiawatha High School.

The USD 415 Board of Education accepted her resignation during their July board meeting.  She had taught at the high school for a year.

Bauman is currently free on a $5,000 surety bond.
