A judge has ruled that a former Kansas high school art teacher will stand trial. She faces criminal charges for allegedly having an unlawful sexual relationship with a student.
Prosecutors accuse the teacher of "grooming" the student. Grooming refers to building an emotional connection to gain trust for later exploitation.
The alleged incidents reportedly occurred inside a Jeep. The judge determined there is enough evidence for the case to proceed to trial.
The teacher has pleaded not guilty. She is charged with unlawful sexual relations, a serious felony under Kansas law.
