ELKO, Nev. (AP) - A former elementary school teacher in northern Nevada has pleaded no contest to charges of engaging in sexual conduct with high school students.
The Elko Daily Free Press reports 41-year-old Tennille Whitaker entered the plea Monday to four felony counts of sexual conduct between a school employee and a student.
Elko County deputies arrested the former Wells elementary teacher in June on suspicion of sexual contact with two male students. Additional charges were filed in August involving two more teens.
According to court documents, three of the teens were 16 or older at the time of the encounters, which occurred between September 2015 and June 2017 on school property and at other locations.
Whitaker resigned from the Elko County School District in August. A sentencing date has not been scheduled.
