ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — A Rabun County High School cafeteria worker has been arrested after she allegedly had inappropriate contact with a child.

Ashleigh Wilson, a 26-year-old from Clayton, faces charges of aggravated child molestation, child molestation, grooming of a minor and sexual exploitation of a child, the sheriff’s office said.

According to deputies, the school district’s board of education asked for an investigation after allegations of Wilson’s behavior, which include “physical contact and electronic communication.” It’s unknown if the child was a student.

Wilson was booked into the Rabun County Detention Center on Thursday. Once the investigation is complete, the files will be turned over to the Mountain Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
