DULUTH, Minn. - A Duluth teacher has been arrested on probable cause for third-degree criminal sexual conduct with a teenager.

According to KARE 11's Duluth sister station, KBJR, the 33-year-old woman was booked into the St. Louis County Jail on Monday.

In a statement Tuesday, the Duluth School District said the allegations against the teacher are "shocking and disappointing and the safety and well-being of students is our topmost priority."

Details about the alleged crime, including where it is suspected of taking place, have not been released. The district says it has placed the teacher on administrative leave and it is cooperating with Duluth Police in their investigation.

Police say the alleged victim has been identified and they are not aware of other victims.

Because the teacher has not been charged, KARE 11 is not identifying her. She is due in court Wednesday morning.
