Granite teacher arrested after reportedly having sex with a student

The District 3 Drug Task Force is leading an investigation into a Granite Public Schools teacher who reportedly was having sex with a 16-year-old student. Court documents filed in Greer County this past week show that Ashley Waffle, 22, has been charged with two counts of second-degree rape.

According to court documents, school officials alerted the Granite Police Department about a rumor of Waffle having intercourse with the student at Waffle’s apartment on two separate occasions. The two reportedly began talking via Snapchat in October.

She has been arrested and booked into the Greer County Jail facing two charges of second-degree rape. The charges carry sentences of up to 15 years in jail each.
