Fayetteville, N.C. — A former Pine Forest High School teacher faces a criminal charge for having what Cumberland County authorities said appeared to be a one-day sexual relationship with a student.

Michael Thomas Correll II, 26, of 513 Torhunta Drive in Hope Mills, engaged in "inappropriate behavior with a female student between Jan. 31 and Feb. 1," the sheriff's office said in a statement Wednesday.

Correll, who was an art teacher and soccer coach at the school, was charged with sexual activity with a student, which is a felony under state law.

He was released from the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $2,000 secured bond.

Correll was scheduled to make his first court appearance Thursday afternoon.

I agree, he should be held completely accountable for have a relationship with a student. I don't understand how you can see someone as a student and still be interested in them in other ways. My students, I come to see as my children- just the thought of that disgusts me.

loveable1089 - I know Mick well and there is nothing good about him. He can play soccer, but he is NOT a nice person. Plus Mick is married, although, probably not for much longer. FYI - General statue 14-27.7(b) It is a class G felony. Sexual activity with Student by Teacher, School Administrator, Student Teacher or Coach at the same school.
