Las Vegas junior high school teacher arrested on sex charges

LAS VEGAS -- A Las Vegas junior high school teacher is accused of engaging in sexual activity involving a student.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal says a spokeswoman for the Clark County School District confirmed Nicole Wilfinger was arrested Friday.

According to online county jail records, the 37-year-old math teacher at Molasky Junior High was booked on three counts each of statutory sexual seduction by a person older than 21 and lewdness with a child older than 14.

She also faces one count each of engaging in sexual conduct with a student between the age of 14 and 15 and a student between age 16 and 17.

It was not clear if the allegations involve more than one student.

A message left at a phone number listed for Wilfinger was not immediately returned Saturday.
