A 28-year-old high school teacher in Austin, Texas was arrested this week and charged with two counts of improper relationship between educator and student.

To get right down to what that means exactly, a 17-year-old student told police he had sex with high school math teacher Haeli Wey 10 times in August and September, the Austin American-Statesman reports.  

The teacher allegedly first met the student during a summer ministry program described by the Daily Mail as a "Christian training program." Later she even went with the boy and his family on a trip to Africa. 

That student put an end to the fling with Wey after finding out that she was having a thing with another 17-year-old Westlake High School student. Wey is accused of kissing the second boy in a hammock during a hike they went on over the summer. 

Texas has a specific law that makes it a felony for a teacher to have a sexual relationship with a student, regardless of the student's age. Wey is facing up to 20 years in prison if she's found guilty.
