A fourth-grade teacher in Tennessee could face up to 25 years in prison after he was arrested for allegedly raping a 12-year-old boy and befriending another former student online.
Alissa McCommon, 38, was arrested outside her home Friday by the Covington Police Department and booked into the Tipton County Jail.
The mother of two has been accused of sexually assaulting a former student in 2021 at her home, Covington Police Chief Donna Turner said.
The Charger Academy teacher admitted it was inappropriate to communicate with students, police said.
McCommon was suspended without pay on Aug. 24 after a parent came forward with the allegations, according to WREG.
After the parents came forward, several other students claimed McCommon befriended them online and even played video games with them, the outlet reported.

The fourth-grade teacher allegedly sent inappropriate photos to students and asked to have sex with them, the outlet reported.
“It is unbearable. It’s unspeakable and it’s 100 percent preventable. I think that’s why the detectives and we are so eager to make sure the victim is OK,” Chief Turner said, according to WREG.
The teacher, who is being held on $25,000 bond, maintains his innocence.
“We believe that it borders on a witch hunt on social media and that disappoints us,” said Jere Mason, her defense attorney, according to WREG.

The investigation is ongoing as police continue to interview the alleged victim.
The parents believe the teacher should have been arrested after he was suspended from school.
“Now you all want to take that into account. You should have done it early on when you first found out,” said Bianca Taylor, who has a student in McCommon’s class, in the Facebook group, according to Fox 13 Memphis.
McCommon is expected to appear in court on October 13.
