In every picture you can find of Anessa Dawn Olive Ferguson, it appears that she loves children. And if what police in Tuscaloosa are saying is true, Ferguson has carried that love way too far.

The 37-year-old kindergarten teacher at Maxwell Elementary School in Duncanville, who is also a wife and mother of three, has been arrested on multiple sex crimes, including incest and rape.

Following a tip from a family member, police launched an investigation.

This week, a grand jury indicted her on charges of engaging in sexual intercourse, 'deviate' sexual intercourse and sexual contact by 'forcible compulsion' with a member of the opposite sex between the ages of 12 and 16.

Police took Ferguson into custody on Wednesday, July 3, according to Lt. Andy Norris with the Tuscaloosa Sheriff’s Department.

She was suspended from her job in December 2012 after the allegations were first investigated.

Norris said the incidents did not involve any students with the school system.

As one of the charges involves incest, court documents describe the act as sexual intercourse with a victim who the defendant knew to be related, either by blood, adoption or marriage.

Following her arrest, Ferguson’s bond was set at $25,000. Her arraignment hearing is scheduled for September 6.

Ferguson is reported to have relatives living in the Geneva and Enterprise area.
