MORGAN CITY — A St. Mary Parish teacher was arrested Tuesday after allegedly engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a former student.

Katherine Ramerez Alberado, 30, was placed on leave and later resigned after the Morgan City Police Department learned about the relationship.

The former student, a minor at the time of the relationship, reported it to the school board, deputies said. This was later corroborated by an investigation.

Alberado was booked on prohibited sexual conduct between educator and student, as well as indecent behavior with juveniles.
