Sarah Tolzien is accused of having sex with the student on two occasions after driving him home from cross-country practice and got caught after sending him naughty text messages, said Police Sgt. Kenneth Arvin.

Police and Cook County prosecutors, who conducted a four-month investigation into the case before announcing the charges this week, said the sexual activity between the two took place on November 14 and November 17, 2008.

“The teacher-student relationship began sometime in October 2008,” Arvin said in a news release.

The student’s parents reported the alleged sexual activity to police in early December of 2008 after finding sexually-oriented text messages from Tolzien on his cell phone.

Tolzien was hired as a substitute teacher in 2007, but was later made a full-time language arts teacher and then began coaching the cross-country team, police said.

Police said there have been no other complaints about Tolzien from other students or their parents.

Andy Conklin, a spokesman for the State’s Attorney’s office, said Judge Darrin Dowden released Tolzien on $10,000 bond Wednesday. Her next court appearance is scheduled for April 15 at the Markham Courthouse.

Conklin said Tolzien could face between 4 and 15 years in prison if convicted.

And that’s the latest news on another teacher arrested, Sarah Tolzien.
