Audrianna Cobb-Williams, a former teacher at Monroe Comprehensive High School in Albany, Georgia, was found not guilty of having sexual contact with her former student, Jaquan Maddox, after a three-day trial.
According to WALB, the trial lasted from Oct. 31 and ended with Cobb-Williams breaking down in tears after hearing the decision.
"I feel blessed and favored," Cobb-Williams said. "When I got on that stand, I told the truth, and I know when they came back in, it made me feel so good. So I just want to say thank you to the jury."
Audrianna Cobb-Williams was arrested in December 2023 and charged with two counts of first-degree sexual assault after a photo surfaced showing her kissing Jaquan Maddox.
