An Alabama lunch lady was arrested this week after allegedly confessing to having sex with a student.
Amy Nicole Wigginton, 41, reportedly admitted to having sex with the boy on at least two separate occasions at her home in March 2025.
A lunch lady in the Lauderdale County School system in Lauderdale, Alabama, Wigginton often shared images to social media with her husband and children.
Wigginton was arrested last week after officers confronted her over the allegations.
She was interviewed by police, and after making her confession she was charged with two counts of a school employee engaging in a sex act or deviant sexual intercourse with a student.
It is unclear how old the student was, with a court document obtained by WAFF48 noting that they were ‘enrolled in (her) school’ and is ‘under the age of 19.’
The age of consent in Alabama is 16 years old.
But sex abuse charges can be filed in cases involving victims aged up to 18 if the suspect is an adult whose job it is to care for them.
Wigginton was booked into the Lauderdale County Jail and is being held on a $100,000 bond.

Records state that Wigginton waived her rights after her arrest and made a confession to authorities.
In a statement following her arrest, the Lauderdale County School System said: ‘he Lauderdale County Board of Education is aware of the allegations, and the employee has been placed on administrative leave.
‘We will continue to cooperate with law enforcement officials, and have no further comment on this matter.’
