MISHAWAKA — Prosecutors filed two felony child seduction charges against a Grissom Middle School teacher Friday.

Police arrested Brooke Biggs at an Osceola home Thursday. Biggs teaches seventh and eighth grade PE at Grissom. She also coaches at Penn High School.

PHM says the alleged victim is a 16-year-old female high school student.

The Family Violence/Special Victims Unit started its investigation in July after the teen's parents contacted police.

They had forbidden their daughter from talking to Biggs and took away her cell phone. But they caught her sneaking out to see Biggs.

Court documents allege Biggs bought the girl a new cell phone, and the two exchanged thousands of explicit text messages.

Police say Biggs admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with the girl.

The school put Biggs on administrative leave September 4.
