MOUNT VERNON, Ind. (AP) - A former southwestern Indiana teacher has pleaded guilty to child seduction for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a student.

Forty-five-year-old Camella Rodgers' trial was set for June 27 in Posey County, but it was canceled after she pleaded guilty last week to two counts of child seduction.

The Evansville Courier & Press reports Rodgers allegedly had sexual contact multiple times with a juvenile girl who was a high school student.

Prosecutors say Rodgers pleaded guilty without a plea deal in place, meaning there's no agreed upon limit on the length of her sentence or conditions about her serving probation. Her sentencing is set for June 28.

Rodgers resigned in December as a fifth-grade teacher at Farmersville Elementary School in Mount Vernon. Court documents say she wasn't the student's teacher.
