A North Carolina teacher and mom of four, once nominated for “Teacher of the Year,” now stands accused of sexual abuse of a student, according to reports.

Jail records show 37-year-old Amanda Doll remains in custody on a charge of statutory rape of a child less than 15 years old.

She resigned last Friday, the same day she was taken into custody, per the outlet.

Citing the arrest warrant, the station reports the alleged abuse involving the student victim occurred on Aug. 12.

So that she could reportedly get home to her children, Doll asked a judge for a low bond amount, which was denied on Tuesday. Her bond was set at $1 million, per the station.

It was unclear if Doll entered a plea to the charge and attorney information for her was not immediately available.

She is due back in court Sept. 22.
