Sycamore High School says they are cooperating with police as they investigate the allegations against the resigned teacher.

A grand jury indicted Walsh Monday.

Montgomery police investigated a sexual battery complaint Oct. 18 after a Hamilton County Job and Family Service investigator reported the incident involving the teacher and 17-year-old female student.

Police say they seized Walsh's computer, cell phone and personal documents as part of their search.

In an email to parents the high school said:

It is with deep sadness that we inform you of a situation involving a former Sycamore High School employee.

Walsh went on paid personal leave in mid-September and before officially being charged.

A school district spokeswoman told WCPO9 that Walsh had been on personal, paid leave since mid-September, prior to her resignation.

District spokeswoman Mallory Bonbright said that while school officials knew about the allegations before Walsh was formerly charged, they legally were not allowed to release her name or any statements to parents until she was charged with a crime.

'We are not permitted to accuse Ms. Walsh of a crime and release her name only after criminal charges were formally filed,' Bonbright said. 'Without the ability to release a name, any information released would have caused unneeded anxiety among our families.'

In the police report, five witnesses came forward about the sexual battery incident, with one of the people being a fellow teenager.

WCPO9 reports the student was not in the special education program.
