An ex-elementary school teacher in Louisiana has been taken into custody on numerous charges, some involving her underage students.

Marisa Noel, aged 31, is facing 25 charges, as detailed by the St. Martin Parish Sheriff’s Office. These charges include 10 counts of indecent behavior with juveniles, one count of first-degree rape, two counts related to child sexual abuse material, one count of unlawful communication, and three counts of computer-aided solicitation of a minor.

Noel is accused of exploiting her position of authority over her students. Officials have described a series of charges that point to multiple alleged victims.

According to a statement on the sheriff’s office’s Facebook page, Sheriff Becket Breaux initiated an investigation into Noel on January 28 following a report that she was engaged in “an inappropriate relationship with one of her former students.”

At the time, Noel was employed as a teacher at Teche Elementary School.

With assistance from the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation and Homeland Security Investigations, there was enough evidence to arrest the former teacher on four counts of indecent behavior with juveniles and four counts of computer-aided solicitation of a minor, authorities said. 

Authorities also said additional charges were added after another unnamed victim was identified.

The ages of the former teacher’s victims were not revealed.

Noel was booked into the St. Martin Parish Correctional Center on Monday, where records show she is still being held.

While no bond has been set for the new charges, Noel’s previous bail was set at $750,000.

Authorities said the investigation remains ongoing. It is unclear if more charges will be filed.
