CLEVELAND — A Bedford High School teacher, who has been indicted in connection with alleged sexual relationships with two students, appeared in Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas on Monday.

Laura Dunker has been indicted on six counts of sexual battery and one count of tampering with evidence, according to Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas records.

Dunker was given a $5,000 cash surety bond and was ordered to give a DNA specimen.

As part of the conditions of her bond, Dunker was ordered to have no contact with the victim in the case.
