Felicia Smith, a Texas teacher, is accused of giving a middle school student a lap dance in front of other students.
The 42-year-old was charged with an improper relationship with a student late last week.
Smith allegedly performed the lap dance for the 15-year-old student’s birthday.
According to KHOU, the dance lasted nearly four minutes. The incident was caught on tape by other students in the room, reports My Fox Houston.
Smith has been removed from the school campus during the ongoing investigation.
The only thing the suspended teacher said to reporters at the court house was, “No comment.”
According to KPRC, Aldine Independent School District released this statement:
A criminal charge of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a student has been filed against a Stovall Middle School teacher. The charge was filed by Aldine Independent School District Police, who investigated the case along with the campus administration. The teacher was removed from the campus during the investigation and has not returned. The district takes this allegation seriously and is fully cooperating with prosecutors. The safety and security of our students will continue to be a top priority in Aldine ISD.
