A band director in a suburban Philadelphia high school was suspended after allegaions of sexual misconduct with a teenaged student.

Bridgett Szychulski, who teaches at Central Bucks High School South, had been charged with statutory sexual assault and related counts on Tuesday.

The 31-year-old teacher allegedly became involved with a male student when she was teaching at Lenape Middle School in 2012, said Superintendent David Weitzel.

Officials alleged Szychulski of having sex with the 14-year-old three times and also sent him lewd pictures on text.

Investigation into the case started last week when an anonymous caller tipped the child abuse hotline. On Friday Szychulski was suspended from his current emplyment at Central Bucks district in Doylestown.

The preliminary hearing has been set for October 6.
