Sarah Fowlkes <\/p>\n
A Texas high school anatomy teacher arrested for allegedly having an improper relationship with a student is seen smiling in her mug shot because she is innocent, according to her lawyer. <\/p>\n
The Lockhart Police Department said 27-year-old Sarah Fowlkes of Lockhart High School \"engaged in sexual contact\" with a 17-year-old male student earlier this month. <\/p>\n
Police told NBC Austin affiliate KXAN Fowlkes turned herself in on Monday and bonded out later that day. <\/p>\n
Fowlkes' attorney Jason Nassour said, \"You've got a young lady who was arrested on the statement of a 17-year-old kid with no corroborating evidence.\" <\/p>\n
He added that \"this isn't a guilty person sitting there like they just got caught. When everything's fleshed out it won't be as it appears.\" <\/p>\n
