An employee at a school in Port Stephens has been charged over alleged child grooming offences.
Investigations under Strike Force Minnamorra started in June to investigate a number of explicit messages and phone calls being exchanged between a female teacher and a male student in 2015.
Police will allege a number of phone calls and messages were sent between a 50-year-old employee and a 15-year-old male student.
Detectives also discovered a second student, aged 16, was involved in sending and receiving messages and phone calls with the same woman.
At about 3:30pm yesterday the 50-year-old was interviewed and later charged at Raymond Terrace Police Station with groom child for unlawful sexual activity, use carriage service to groom child under 16 years for sex and use carriage service to menace/harass/offend.
She was given conditional bail and will front Raymond Terrace Local Court on November 6.
The woman is no longer employed by the school.
