Ronk, who taught Spanish at Bishop Foley High School faces five counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. She's also been charged with possession of child sexually abusive material and furnishing alcohol to a minor.

Authorities say she engaged in sexual acts with the teenager in classrooms at the Madison Heights school, where she no longer is employed and also in a car in Sterling Heights and at the victim's Macomb Township home.

A message seeking comment was left with her lawyer on Wednesday.

No date has been set yet for her next court appearance.
