A substitute teacher in northwest Georgia was arrested and fired after she allegedly sent nude photos of herself to several 14-year-old boys, according to reports.

Lenea Pardue, 35, of Trenton, surrendered to authorities at the Dade County Jail, the GBI said Thursday in a statement. She’s charged with electronically furnishing obscene material to minors and computer or electronic pornography and child exploitation.

Dade County Schools Superintendent Jan Harris said the district fired Pardue when officials learned about the allegations, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reported.

"We are saddened to learn about the arrest of a former substitute teacher," Harris said in a statement. "This individual is no longer employed as a substitute teacher with Dade County Schools. We are cooperating with law enforcement officers as they investigate this matter."

Trenton police Chief Christy Smith asked the GBI on Aug. 31 to investigate the situation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the GBI at 706-624-1424.
