KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A 27-year-old teacher has turned herself into police after she was indicted on eight counts of statutory rape by an authority figure.

The teacher, Lindsey Seymour, is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy between June 2009 and September 2009.

NewsChannel 5 has exclusive video of the moment the teacher turned herself in to authorities in Fentress County.
