Through a monthlong investigation, detectives discovered that Ms. Brewington and the student had been communicating electronically since September.

Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Ms. Brewington on Tuesday. She turned herself in to Troop 4 on Thursday.

Ms. Brewington was charged with obscenity material provided to a person under the age of 18 (felony). She was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 4 and released on her own recognizance.
