ERWIN, N.C. — The lead administrator of Cape Fear Christian Academy has resigned following the arrest of a school employee on child sex crime allegations.

Karen Parker, head of the school, resigned April 7, according to a statement from the school.

Tammy Moran, 45, former chief financial officer at the school, was charged on March 19 with three counts of sexual acts by a substitute parent.
Moran allowed student-athletes from outside the area to stay at her home near Coats, authorities said, where at least two Cape Fear Christian Academy basketball players allege Moran sexually abused them.

"The school continues to cooperate with local law enforcement officials. In addition, an independent investigation has been commissioned by our board," Cape Fear Christian Board Chairman Christopher Aldredge said in a statement. "We remain committed to ensuring that any child, parent, teacher or other community member feels supported in coming forward with concerns, both today and in the future."

Moran, who was fired by the school the same day she was arrested, has been released on a $30,000 bond. Her next appearance in Cumberland County District Court is May 25.
