A PE teacher has been fired after she allegedly sent nude Snapchat photos and sexually explicit messages to numerous students.

Dionne Younce had been suspended at Allen D Nease High School in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, in the wake of the shocking claims.

But now, the 28-year-old has been sacked from her post following an internal investigation into her alleged misconduct, it is reported.

The school board confirmed her dismissal at a meeting yesterday.

Younce is accused of using Snapchat to send 'inappropriate' messages to at least three students, including members of the school's football team.

One student claimed they and the teacher had been exchanging nude photos 'for a while', according to documents seen by Action News Jax.

Another said they and a football player had received the same Snapchat picture showing Younce wearing only a bra.

It comes as police continue to investigate the claims against Younce, who has not yet been arrested nor charged.

The teacher is accused of sexual misconduct involving multiple students, according to The St. Augustine Record.

St. Johns County School District spokeswoman Christina Langston said her suspension - and subsequent firing - followed the discovery of messages to students, the New York Daily News reports.

At least three pupils said that Younce allegedly texted them, written statements given to school district investigators said.

The statements also mentioned students following Younce on Twitter , and that she added students on Instagram and Snapchat.

One student's account said that he had a relationship with Younce that started as subtle flirtation and progressed to 'sexual snapping', where the two would send nude photos to each other, according to WJXT in Florida.

He said several interviews were being conducted and that the case was turned over to the Special Victims Unit to determine whether there was any criminal wrongdoing.

Two possible second-degree felony charges, described as 'lewd or lascivious act upon a child', were listed.

According to the Nease Athletics website, Younce is head coach of the girls' weightlifting team.

Younce was hired this school year and was still in her probationary period when the allegations were made.
