DOTHAN, Ala. (WDHN) — The case of a former Dothan High school teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with a student is now headed to a Houston County Grand Jury.

District Judge Benjamin Lewis granted a motion by Attorney William Matthews to waive her right to a preliminary hearing earlier this week.

Engle faces charges for engaging in a sexual act with a student and two charges for sending obscene material.

According to a police spokesperson, Engle was allegedly engaged in a relationship with the 16-year-old boy for several weeks.
