A woman who taught at East Aurora High School has been charged with sexual exploitation of a child after allegedly sending inappropriate photos of herself via text message to a 15-year-old boy who attended the school.

Police received a tip on Sept. 19 suggesting that Kelly K. Miller, 32, a science teacher at East Aurora, had 'sexted' explicit photos to one of her male students in late May or June 2011, CBS Chicago reports. The charges were filed on Tuesday.

City spokesman Dan Ferrelli told the Chicago Sun-Times that Miller turned herself in to Aurora police. A school district spokesperson said the teacher resigned last week.

Police say they are further investigating the incident, according to CBS. Miller posted bond on the misdemeanor charge Tuesday night. Her next court date is scheduled for Nov. 18 in Aurora Branch Court.

Colorado high school physical education teacher and basketball coach Lauren Redfern was charged with sexual assault on a child by a person of a position of trust with a pattern of sexual abuse after suspicions arose that she was having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student over the course of 4 months. Though initial interviews with the victim indicate that their relationship was consensual, it will not deter the Sheriff's Office from pressing charges against Redfern.
