White Plains – A former teacher at a private Catholic boys’ high school in suburban New York accused of raping a 14-year-old student has turned herself in to authorities.

NBC New York reports 27-year-old Amanda Iles, formerly a teacher in the religion department at Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains, surrendered to police on Wednesday morning after returning to New York from California.

Lohud.com reports Iles was arraigned on two counts of second-degree rape for incidents investigators say occurred at her Eastchester home following the end of the last school year in June. The boy’s parents notified police after learning of the alleged illicit sexual relationship.

Assistant District Attorney Frank Luis said investigators have photo and video evidence of the illicit affair. Police said the evidence shows the couple engaged in sexual activity.
