Brooke Biggs, 27, a physical education teacher at Grissom Middle School and an assistant girls softball and basketball coach at Penn High School in Mishawaka, Indiana has reportedly been arrested on suspicion of child seduction.
Biggs came to the attention of authorities in July when the parents of a 16-year-old female softball player contacted police with concerns that she was in an inappropriate relationship with Biggs.
Reportedly the girls parents had forbidden her from talking to Biggs and took away her cell phone. It is alleged that Biggs bought the girl a new cell phone, and the two exchanged thousands of explicit text messages and that the girl’s parents caught her sneaking out to see Biggs.
Biggs was arrested yesterday and released on $2,000 cash bond today.
Reportedly Biggs was placed on administrative leave by the school system on September 4th.

Brooke Biggs has reportedly pleaded guilty to a charge of sexual misconduct with a minor and to a misdemeanor charge of invasion of privacy for contacting the victim, in violation of a court order.

Reportedly, the deal calls for the sentences to be served consecutively.
