A Georgia high school teacher accused of having sexual trysts with multiple students in a classroom and a closet was blackmailed for better grades after students discovered she owned and operated an OnlyFans account, according to police.
Maris Nichols, 25, was arrested twice over alleged relations with six students at Alexander High School in Douglas County, Georgia, according to Fox Atlanta.
She was indicted on 27 counts related to the allegations. Two of the teenagers were younger than 16, authorities said.
Search warrants obtained by the news outlet said Nichols, a former biology teacher and football program administrator, operated an account on OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform used by content creators, many for adult content.

Nichols turned herself in to authorities last week after prosecutors said she repeatedly violated the conditions of her bond, including leaving her home without permission while on house arrest with electronic monitoring.
She has been in custody at the Douglas County Jail since last week.
