A high school assistant principal was arrested yesterday after allegations emerged she was having sexual relations with at least three male students.

Police did not yet know how the relationships began and did not release the ages of the alleged victims.

The 45-year-old has been charged with seven counts of sexual intercourse with a minor, four counts of oral copulation with a minor and one count of distributing harmful matter to a minor.

The abuse occurred between September 2012 and March, according to KTLA.

She is being held on $1million bail.
