Well, well, well…what do we have here out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Can I get a ROLLLLL TIDE UP IN HERE? We have a BREAKING story on a substitute teacher who was allegedly having a sexual relationship with a student. Meta Diane Lovely — one of the more unique names to ever appear on BC — was arrested today on a charge of “School Employee Engaging in a Sext Act with a Student under the age of 19.”
And before you even ask, yes, Meta Lovely is indeed a Bama fan. As if that was ever in doubt. More from WVUA 23 reporter Khadijah Torbert:
Lovely was allegedly having a sexual relationship with a student in the Tuscaloosa City Schools System, where she is a substitute teacher. She’s being held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail on a $30-thousand bond.
According to Lovely’s Facebook account she went to Alabama where she studied elementary education. Her attorney is already laying the groundwork for a not guilty plea. “Meta is innocent and adamantly denies these allegations.”
Meta became one of many from the Tuscaloosa/Birmingham area who were popped this school year for sex crimes:
