Carter, who was 21 at the time, sent the images to the teen while she was employed as a substitute teacher at South Dearborn Community School Corporation.

The unidentified student told a school resource officer in December 2023, who informed the principal about what happened, court records state.

The teen said he became friends with Carter via Snapchat.

During their conversations online, Carter sent the teen nude photos of herself every time she took a shower, often late at night, authorities said. She also allegedly told him that she was in love with him.

Investigators found the photos on Carter's phone, along with several messages, prosecutors said.
