A Terre Haute woman faces two counts of Level 5 felony child seduction charges following her alleged involvement with a student.

Taylor Valandingham-Dunham, 29, turned herself into the Sullivan County Jail today following her alleged encounters with a  Linton-Stockton High School student. She is now a former teacher at the school, located in Greene County.

The charges were reportedly filed in Sullivan County due to the two traveling there during their alleged out-of-the- classroom relationship. 

"Linton Police Department had initiated the investigation, however the charges were filed in Sullivan Superior Court when it was learned that the offenses occurred in Sullivan County," Sullivan Co. Sheriff Clark Cottom said.
