A former math teacher at Clarke Central High School was acquitted Wednesday of sexual assault on a student during a jury trial in Athens-Clarke County Superior Court.
Coalson and the student, now 18, each testified in the three-day trial presided over by Superior Court Judge Lisa Lott.
Coalson, represented by Athens-Clarke County Assistant Public Defender Rachel Williams, lost her job and license to teach as a result of the investigation.
Coalson, who resides in Cumming, testified in the trial that she brought the student to her home after meeting him at the Cloud bar in downtown Athens in February 2019, according to court testimony. She denied they had sexual intercourse.
