Teacher Accused of Sex With Special Ed Student (Video)

CLEVELAND -- A teacher is accused of having sexual relations with one of her 17- year-old students who suffers from mental illness.

"This is a teacher who violated her position as an educator and became involved with a student, " said Maureen Clancy, Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor.

Clancy says, 30-year-old Naomi Wright, who teaches biology and music at the Virtual Schoolhouse Charter School, started mentoring the boy and his grades improved.

But soon after, the relationship became inappropriate and illegal. She says, "What's most troubling about this case is this student had a number of hospitalizations because of his mental disability."
