A former substitute teacher at Catholic High School for Boys surrendered to authorities Tuesday on a charge of sexual assault in the first degree, prosecutors said.
Erica Suskie appeared in North Little Rock District Court on Tuesday morning and entered a plea of not guilty, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reporter Scott Carroll said on Twitter.
Suskie was with her husband, former Arkansas Public Service Commission chairman Paul Suskie, at the brief hearing.
The Suskies were friends with the family of the alleged victim, who went to school at Catholic High in Little Rock, Pulaski County Chief Deputy Prosecutor John Johnson said.
Catholic High principal Steve Straessle said he reported the misconduct to a hotline, as required by law, when rumors about it developed in October. He declined to offer details about what the rumors suggested had occurred.
He said he made three calls within a three-day period as the rumors evolved, adding he also notified students' parents and banned Suskie from school.
The North Little Rock Police Department issued the warrant.
See Wednesday's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette for full details.

GJ - Note that WELS decides nothing happened because it is in their favor to whitewash the whole matter and reverse a firing. But, as this example shows, someone with a "duty to report" must report it to the authorities - to let them handle the investigation. To do otherwise invites a cover-up.
