A 33 year old Prescott individual has been arrested for second degree sexual assault. Authorities say they arrested Leona Nivens without incident on Tuesday.
The arrest came after a joint investigation between the Prescott Police Department and the Arkansas State Police Crimes Against Children Division concerning allegations of improper sexual contact between Nivens, a High School Teacher at Prescott High School, and a 15 year old High School Student.
Nivens had been placed on Administrative leave by the Prescott School District pending the outcome of the investigation.
