A teacher from a Christian school in Alabama was taken into custody on Friday under accusations of having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student. The school referred to the incident as “deeply distressing for everyone concerned.”

North River Christian Academy, a private institution offering education from Pre-K to 12th grade located in Tuscaloosa, released a statement online on Friday concerning the arrest and the allegations against “a former staff member.”

On Wednesday, the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Fox News Digital that deputies had arrested 35-year-old Sarah Huggins Logan on Friday, charging her with a single count of a school employee engaging in a sexual act.

The parents of the student alerted authorities on Wednesday that their juvenile daughter was involved in a sexual relationship with a teacher, Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit (VCU) Capt. Jack Kennedy told Fox News Digital in a statement.

“Our first concern is for the health and welfare of our students, staff, and families,” the school said. “Please respect the privacy of all these parties. Contributing to rumors and suspicions profits no one and contributes only to the hardships experienced by those impacted.”

“It should be self-evident to say that this incident is heart rending for all involved,” the school continued. “This includes especially the families directly impacted. We have prayed for them and encouraged our entire school family to hold them up in their personal prayers. This situation is easy for no one; there are only degrees of difficulty.”

Kennedy said that there may be more victims and encouraged them to speak with investigators.

The sheriff’s investigation is ongoing, and more charges could be forthcoming.
