ROXBORO, N.C. — A teacher at Person Senior High School is facing a felony charge of taking indecent liberties with a student, police said Thursday. 

Megan Trainor, 24, of 321 Floyd Hicks Road in Timberlake, also faces a misdemeanor charge of preparing obscene photographs, slides or motion pictures.

Warrants for her arrest were issued Thursday, and she remained at large Friday. 

Trainor, a ninth grade math teacher, has been placed on paid suspension, Person County Schools Superintendent Larry Cartner said Friday. She has been with the school system for three years. 

The Person County Board of Education contacted authorities about a possible incident between a teacher and a student on Wednesday. The charges are a result of that investigation.

Authorities said the male student was 16-years-old or older and was at one time enrolled at Person Senior High. It was unclear if he was still a student there.
