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

Megan Trainor, 24, of 321 Floyd Hicks Road in Timberlake, is also charged with preparing obscene photographs, slides or motion pictures.

Warrants for her arrest were issued last Thursday. She was arrested Wednesday in Wake County.

Trainor was released from the Person County Law Enforcement Center after posting $100,000 bond.

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 Nov. 9. 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.
