Amber Michelle Parker, 37, was arrested in Mexia in central Texas on Wednesday on a human trafficking charge

A Texas teacher has been arrested after she allegedly tried to sell an underage female relative for sex to multiple men in Morocco.

Amber Michelle Parker, 37, was arrested in Mexia in central Texas on Wednesday on a human trafficking charge.

She has been accused of conspiring to lure the child to Morocco so she could sell her for sex to various men.

Parker, who is an eighth-grade reading teacher at Mexia Junior High, had allegedly posted photos online of the girl wearing lingerie and exposing her breasts to attract men.

Authorities said she advertised the girl as being a virgin.

Parker traveled to Morocco alone in December and was arrested when she returned to Texas on New Year's Day.

The victim was taken safely out of state by her father while Parker was in Morocco.

It is not clear the exact relationship between Parker and the girl.

Authorities had started investigating Parker after receiving a tip about her alleged intentions.

'She was online talking to multiple guys in Morocco trying to get it setup where she could take her with her over there to them,' Freestone County Sheriff J. Shipley told KBTX.

Detectives have since obtained search warrants for Parker's electronic devices.

McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara, who helped with the investigation, said it was 'sickening' to think Parker would stoop that low.

'It's a very low-down thing,' he said.

'It's the worst of the worst when you prostitute your own relative, that's as low as you get.'

The Mexia Independent School District placed Parker on administrative leave immediately after learning about the allegations.

'Student safety is Mexia ISD's No. 1 priority,' Mexia ISD Superintendent Lyle DuBus said.

'We take these allegations seriously and we will be working closely with our partners in law enforcement. The district continues to monitor the situation and feels no students at Mexia Junior High were ever at risk.'

Parker remained at Freestone County Jail on Wednesday night.
