Holly Adams, who taught at Angleton High School near Houston , is charged with one count of tampering with evidence and two counts of purchasing or furnishing alcohol to a minor, the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office said.
The probe began after a student told school staff that Adams was having an inappropriate relationship with a former student, KTRK-TV reported .

The student told school officials that the victim FaceTime-called him over the summer from a bedroom in Adams' house and that the bed was covered in nude photos of her, according to the news outlet. Another image depicted Adams and the former student cuddling, the report states.
Adams reportedly invited students to her home to perform chores, and she allegedly admitted to speaking with three members of the school baseball team on Snapchat.

Many female teachers who sexually abuse male students sometimes convice themselves that the relationship is legitimate, said Gail Saltz, MD, Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College.
"They're more likely to be psychologically both grooming their victim, but also what's called self grooming," Saltz told Fox News Digital. "They are convincing themselves that what they are doing is having an intimate, romantic relationship that is benefiting the victim as well."
Saltz noted that the damage done to the male students is just as damaging as female victims.
"It is easily as damaging in terms of, you've been abused by an adult. And that adult took advantage of your trust," she said. "That violated boundaries that you weren't ready for."
Adams was taken to the Brazoria County Detention Center and released on a $26,000 bond the same day. She no longer works for the Angleton Independent School District, a spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
