CBS 58

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A teacher at Rufus King High School is facing criminal charges after investigators say she had inappropriate contact with several students on the basketball team. 

Erica Allemang-Reinke, 40, is charged with four counts of sexual misconduct by school staff or volunteer. 

According to a criminal complaint, the incidents involving Allemang-Reinke -- known as "Mrs. A" -- occurred between September 2024 and April 2025. 

The complaint says Allemang-Reinke had asked for the students' phone numbers, GPS locations, would call and FaceTime them at "random times," bought them gifts and gave them money. 

One victim told investigators Allemang-Reinke didn't abuse them physically but by "mentally overpowering" their brains and "manipulating situations."

Another victim, according to the complaint, said Allemang-Reinke had made them uncomfortable by giving "countless long hugs" that were forced. That victim also told investigators he observed Alleman-Reinke allow students to smoke in her classroom and used the situation as leverage by not telling other teachers. 

Police say Allemang-Reinke was arrested April 21.
