Former principal arrested on rape charges

Rumors have floated around all week of allegations of Whitesville's Saint Mary of The Woods Principle involved in several allegations. Unfortunately, I received a news alert text from the Owensboro Messenger~Inquirer today that reads as follows;
  FRM:txt@messenger-inquirer.com MSG:" Former Saint Mary of The Woods principle charged with rape, sodomy of 15 year old boy."

I regret posting this as I'm acquainted with so many in the Whitesville community, a small town of hard working and honest folks who've done so much to maintain their parochial school. Just recently, I attended their Parrish Social BBQ and enjoyed thier fine burgoo, mutton, prok, and chicken, all of which proceeds went directly to the school. I can't begin to express my saddness of this news.
The following is from channel 14 WFIE.com. I'm sure there's more to come.

WHITESVILLE, KY (WFIE) - A former principal of a Daviess County catholic school is facing rape and sodomy charges.

Authorities tell 14 News that Allison M. Brant, 31, used to be the principal of St. Mary's of the Wood Elementary School in Whitesville, KY.

She resigned from her post in within the last week.

Kentucky State Police are investigating rape and sodomy charges against Brant.

Police say the charges are one count of third degree rape and three counts of sodomy.

Third-degree rape is someone age 21 or older engaging in sexual intercourse with someone under 16.
