VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — A former New Smyrna Beach High School teach was arrested Thursday after authorities accused her of sexual misconduct with a 16-year-old male student.

• Former NSB High School teacher accused of having sex with student
• Investigation against Megan Parris, 28, began following student tip
• The 16-year-old student claimed Parris took him to her home 

Megan Parris, 28, is charged with having unlawful sexual activity with a minor, according to Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. She bonded out of Volusia County Branch Jail on $25,000 Friday.

She reportedly turned herself into authorities Thursday after a judge issued a warrant for her arrest, following a months-long investigation conducted by Volusia detectives.

According to Parris' arrest report, the investigation started after a student tipped off New Smyrna High of the teacher's alleged misconduct with one of her students.

When the reported victim was questioned, he told authorities Parris took him to her home, where they kissed. She also allegedly often drove him to school.

The student said he and Parris later had sex two different times in her car, and had been communicating through text message and Instagram.

Parris was consequently placed on paid administrative leave. Officials say she hasn’t returned to the classroom since.

Detectives say there was probable cause to believe Parris had sex with the alleged victim off-campus. However, her attorney is claiming there is no hard evidence of the accusation.

Her attorney also shared this statement with us Spectrum News 13: "Ms. Parris is presumed innocent of all charges against her.  A seven month investigation failed to produce even one picture, text message, or bit of DNA corroborating these allegations. That lack of objective evidence raises serious questions as to the credibility of the accusations."
