A Hurricane High School teacher was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of rape for allegedly having sex with one of her students. Hurricane police have accused 29-year-old Cris Lynn Morris of having sex with a male juvenile at least five times. Police did not say when or where the alleged encounters occurred, but said the student was too young to consent to the alleged sexual contact.
Morris was booked into the Washington County jail Wednesday. She was also placed on administrative leave, according to Washington County School District officials. - Jason Bergreen
