Arraignment tomorrow for Webb City teacher in sex case

The arraignment for former Webb City High School choir teacher Carrie Njoroge on a felony charge of sexual contact with a student is scheduled for 9:05 a.m. Wednesday before Judge Richard Copeland in Jasper County Circuit Court Division 5.

According to the probable cause statement, Mrs. Njoroge is being charged with an after-hours sex act with an 18-year-old high school student that allegedly took place Tuesday, April 15, in her office at the school. Two days later, school officials placed her on paid administrative leave. She resigned the following day, according to a statement from the school district.

The probable cause statement says that April 15 was not the first time Mrs. Njorege had sex with the student. He says that the relationship began three months earlier.


Mrs. Njoroge is represented by Dee Wampler, Springfield, who has filed a motion to dismiss and a motion for a bill of particuiars.

I used to teach with the former teacher who is accused of doing this and honestly, I just can't believe it. She truly was one of those teachers who was inspiring and loved her job. She also loved her husband and her children and it just blows me away that this might have happened. For everyone involved, I hope that the kid was just crying "wolf". I seriously just have no clue what to think because it seems so unlike the Mrs. Njoroge I know personally AND professionally!

Do we have any information from the first arraignment? Maybe it's all a misunderstanding.
