Busted In Acadiana

Kristina Ngum, a 43-year-old teacher and cheerleading coach, was jailed Saturday after she allegedly had sex with a male student.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, an investigation was launched Friday after deputies found drugs on a student that Ngum allegedly had a sexual relationship with.

During an investigation into the drug charge, deputies determined that Ngum had engaged in a sexual relationship with the student.

One source stated that the student was in Ngum’s car when she was stopped on Friday.  Deputies reportedly searched the student during the stop and found drugs in his possession. Ngum was arrested the next day when detectives called her down to the station to provide a statement.  This additional information has not been confirmed by the Sheriff’s Office, however.

Investigators have not released the student’s age, or how Ngum and the student know each other. The alleged sexual encounter is believed to have occurred off school grounds.

Ngum was booked and charged with one count of sexual activity with a student.

Her bond has been set at $2,500.

According to court records, Ngum was arrested in July 2011 and charged with false pretenses and misdemeanor larceny. She was also arrested in 2008 on a charge of driving while impaired.
