A Courtland High School special education teacher has been charged with nine offenses involving sexual relations with two teenage students, police said.

Bonnie Sue Davis, 35, of Spotsylvania is charged with two counts of sodomy, six counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and having sex with a child.

She was arrested late Thursday and placed in the Rappahannock Regional Jail, Sheriff’s Lt. Eddie Peck said.

Davis, who has worked for the Spotsylvania school system for six years, is accused of sexual misconduct with two Courtland High boys, ages 14 and 15.

She has been suspended from her teaching duties. Police say that none of the alleged activity took place at the school.

Courtland Principal Michael Bedwell said he could not comment on whether Davis will return to her post.

“There is an investigation happening,” he said. “We’ll have to wait and see the outcome. I will not predict or presume what will happen down the road.”

Spotsylvania detectives searched Davis' home in the county's Ruffins Pond subdivision about 8:15 p.m. Thursday, according to paperwork filed yesterday in Spotsylvania Circuit Court.

They photographed the layout of the house and the contents of the residence, according to court documents filed by Spotsylvania Detective T.J. Bryner. Detectives suspect that the sexual activity occurred there, Peck said.

An arraignment for Davis has been set for Monday, Spotsylvania Commonwealth's Attorney William Neely said.

Neely said that Davis has hired defense attorney Phillip Sasser. Stuart Sullivan is prosecuting the case.
