A 37-year-old Edgewood middle school teacher was arrested Friday and is charged with having sex with a student.
Angela “Angel” Simmons Lindle is a seventh-grade life science teacher at the middle school. She is currently facing seven counts of Criminal sexual conduct with a minor, 2nd degree. Lindle reportedly told investigators Friday of seven sexual encounters she’s had with a former student who reported the incidences to police the day before.
According to Greenwood County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO) reports, Lt. Enlow met with an officer from the Ninety Six Police Department on Thursday, where the alleged victim originally reported the relationship between him and Lindle. The boy said the relationship began nearly two years ago, when he was 14-years-old.
During their interviews with the alleged victim, investigators say the boy gave them three bottles of pills Lindle had allegedly given to him. He said Lindle told him they would build muscle.
The victim alleges that about two years ago Lindle, who was his teacher at the time, hugged and kissed him and told the boy she wanted to have sex with him. The boy reported 40 – 50 sexual encounters with Lindle, saying 25 of them occurred at Star Fort in Ninety-Six. The victim said Lindle took him to McCormick County and Abbeville County to have sex with him. He said she also took him to Augusta, Georgia.
Major John Murray of the GCSO told WYFF News 4 that the evidence against Lindle is more than just empty allegations.
"We removed several items from her clothes, which confirm that there was some activity going on," he said.
According to arrest warrant affidavits, Lindle admitted to seven sexual encounters with the boy, all occurring in Greenwood and McCormick Counties. She reportedly admitted to three sexual encounters where the two parked on Warner Road in Ninety Six, two incidences at the Economy Inn in Greenwood, one incident while parked in the K-Mart parking lot in Greenwood and one incident at Lindle’s home in Donalds. The seven encounters Lindle reportedly admitted to occur between August 2008 and February 2009.
According to reports, the boy told investigators that he had been trying to end the relationship with Lindle, but she kept calling and text messaging him. He said Lindle told him she would kill herself if they could no longer see each other. The boy said Lindle wrecked her car on Thursday while she was text messaging him and had to be treated at a local hospital. He said he was scared that when she was released from the hospital she would try to find him and hurt him.
Lindle continued on to post messages to her Facebook page as her arrest came closer on Friday. Her last message, posted just before 1:00pm, said “Goodbye to everyone.” Lindle was arrested just after 1:oopm on Friday.
According to her Facebook account, Lindle had been a teacher at Edgewood Middle School since 1996. District 52 Superintendent Dr. Dan Powell said Lindle has been on medical leave since September. Powell said the district is cooperating with law enforcement and that Lindle will be suspended pending the outcome of the charges against her.
A bond hearing was held for Lindle on Saturday. She is currently being held at the Greenwood County Detention Center on a $126,000 cash or surety bond.

Yuck in this case definitely sexual abuse. If she were hot maybe I could understand but this is just gross. Unless she got the student drunk first in which case I guess with beer goggles it would be ok.

"The evidence before the court is incontrovertible! There's no need for the jury to retire. In all my years of judging I have never heard before of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law. "
But it occurs to me, in light of so many female rapists ... that ....
Have men been rehabilitated and are no longer lecherous rapists?
