Amanda Alldredge, 32, a former teacher at Gadsden High School in Gadsden, Alabama has reportedly pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and one misdemeanor count of failure to report child abuse.

Alldredge failed to report an alleged sexual relationship between a 15-year-old female student and Nicholas Keith Smith, a fellow teacher at Gadsden High School.
Under the Alabama Mandatory Reporting Act, school teachers are mandatory reporters of suspected child abuse. It was alleged that the 15-year-old girl admitted the alleged relationship with Smith to Alldredge and asked her help in covering it up.
During the course of the investigation into Alldredge’s involvement in the case of Nicholas Smith, it was discovered that Alldredge bought alcohol for a different minor.
Alldredge submitted her resignation which was approved by the Gadsden City Board of Education last week.
No sentencing date has been set and the district attorney has indicated that Alldredge is basically on a deferred sentence “in the upcoming months”.
