A teacher at Bliss High School is facing charges of 2-counts of sexual battery of a minor who is 16-years old.
Anna Margaret Bettencourt, 38, of Wendell has been arraigned in Gooding County 5th District Court on the charges, both of which carry a maximum penalty of life in prison.
Bettencourt's preliminary hearing is set for March 19th, and a special prosecutor has been appointed to handle the case.
Officials with the Bliss School District told KMVT they couldn't discuss whether Bettencourt has been placed on administrative leave; or if the teen who was allegedly battered is a student at the school.
