Benson — A West Johnston High School teacher is accused of exposing herself to students. The teacher, who has been suspended with pay, worked with exceptional students, according to school officials.

The Johnston County school system is reviewing the allegation, which was brought to school leaders' attention on Tuesday, said spokeswoman Crystal Roberts.

"It is our policy to suspend the employee in these types of situations," Roberts said.

While Roberts stressed the school system is investigating the alleged incident and taking it seriously, she added that "it is merely an allegation at this point."

The school system is doing an internal investigation, and no law enforcement agency is involved at this time, she added.
