A 24-year-old high school teacher has been arrested for allegedly having sex with a male student and for providing him with alcohol. Kayla Mooney, who is in her first year teaching science at Danbury High School in Danbury, Connecticut, turned herself into police at 5pm on Tuesday. Her arrest came after the school's administration contacted police in February with the allegations and the Danbury Police Department's Special Victims Unit launched a seven-week investigation. She was accused of engaging in sexual activity with the boy while off campus late last year, the News Times reported. Following the accusations, Mooney was also put on paid administrative leave on February 10. She is still on paid leave, according to the school district's superintendent. A judge granted police a warrant to arrest Mooney and she has now been charged with second-degree sexual assault and providing alcohol to a minor and was released without bail. Sal Pascarella, the superintendent of schools, sent high school parents a message on Tuesday to inform them of the teacher's arrest. 'We are all very disappointed that this has happened to one of our faculty members,' Pascarella said, but added: 'Obviously, there is a whole process we have to go through with this investigation. At this point, these are allegations.' School: Mooney, 24, is only in her first year of teaching science at Danbury High School in Connecticut . She is due in court on April 14. Mooney, who grew up in Danbury, attended North Dakota State University and Western Connecticut State University.. Property records show she still lives with her family in Danbury. She taught chemistry and physics classes at the school, the Danbury Daily Voice reported. She is the third area teacher to face sexual misconduct charges since February. The first, Sacred Heart University instructor Timothy Leonard, was put on leave on February 11 after allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy in an SUV parked in a movie theater parking lot. Then a first-grade teacher, Brian Stroh, resigned from Bethel Elementary School on February 19 and has been charged with sexually abusing three children. He has been released on bail.
