Indiana School Secretary Arrested for Alleged Affairs with Students: Police Investigation Uncovers Disturbing Details

A high school secretary from Indiana, involved in a scandalous incident, is currently under investigation after being allegedly assaulted by her husband who found her with a student. This unexpected confrontation has unveiled further allegations of inappropriate relationships with students.

According to the Union City Police Department, Alicia Hughes, the secretary in question, was allegedly assaulted by her husband over the weekend. The altercation reportedly occurred when he discovered her in the company of an 18-year-old student.

The ensuing investigation, however, revealed more troubling allegations. Authorities have discovered that Hughes, employed by the Randolph Eastern School Corporation, allegedly engaged in a sexual relationship with another student, aged 17.

The case has sparked widespread attention and raised concerns about professional boundaries and ethics within educational settings. The investigation continues as law enforcement seeks to uncover the full scope of the situation.

During a probe into the incident, investigators discovered that Hughes, a secretary at the Randolph Eastern School Corporation school district, also had a sexual relationship with a separate student, age 17, police said. 

“Investigators determined that Hughes and the minor engaged in sexual intercourse on at least five occasions,” a police statement said. 

Hughes was arrested and charged with five counts of child seduction related to the sexual relationship with the minor student.

She was taken to the Randolph County Jail and was being held on a $25,000 cash-only bond.

It was unclear if Hughes will be charged for her alleged relationship with the 18-year-old student or if her husband will face charges for the alleged battery. 

In a statement, school district Neal Adams said Hughes had been removed from all duties pending “the outcome of the legal process.”

“RESC takes all allegations involving students extremely seriously. Upon becoming aware of concerns, the corporation fully cooperated with law enforcement and will continue to do so as the investigation proceeds,” he said. “We appreciate the professionalism and diligence of local authorities in handling this matter.”
