Former North Carolina teacher and assistant volleyball and soccer coach has been arrested for allegedly engaging in sex acts with a student. Devin Danielle Wright, 27, was charged with three counts of sexual activity with a student and three counts of taking indecent liberties with a student.

Wright was a teacher at East Duplin High School from August 2015 to August 2017.
