A biology teacher in Kentucky has resigned after she was found giving a student some private lessons in anatomy.Carrie Shafer, a teacher at DuPont Manual High School in Louisville, was found Friday night inside a car and sharing beer with a 17-year-old student.The 38-year-old and the teen also were partially undressed. Evidence of contraceptive use was near the car."There were some articles found that appeared to have been from a sexual act -- like some condoms and some wet wipes that were on the outside of the car believed to have been thrown from that vehicle Shafer, who taught anatomy and physiology, was cited with a misdemeanor for unlawful transaction with a minor.
Sexual consent in Kentucky is 16, and at the time of the incident police were not aware she was a teacher.
Shafer, who resigned Sunday, could face a felony charge because of her role as an educator.
