The Grant County High School biology teacher was arrested on Wednesday after a student reported the sordid allegations to staff.

Under Kentucky law, "sodomy" is defined as "deviate sexual intercourse" - including oral sex.

Burk is accused of engaging in multiple sexual encounters with the student off-campus during the summer holidays, Local 12 reported.

The University of Kentucky graduate faces four counts of sodomy and four counts of rape.

'REMOVED FROM DUTIES'

Burk had only taught at the school for just over a year before her arrest this week.

Grant County Schools superintendent Matthew Morgan told parents that Burk had been "removed from duties" while on trial.
