Police in Cookeville have arrested a former teacher who served six months in jail after being accused of having sex with a 13-year-old boy.

Authorities say Pamela Rogers Turner may have committed as many as seven violations of terms of her probation. She had served six months in jail and was released February 26th. But terms of her conviction included an eight-year sentence and the prosecutor says his office might ask that Turner be sent to prison for the balance of it.

Terms include registering as a sex offender, performing community service, having no contact with the boy's family and not using the Internet.

A McMinnville newspaper quotes authorities as saying Turner established a Web site with several photos of herself. A blog on the site indicated a communication between Turner and the victim's 17-year-old sister -- including a link to the sister's Web site.

Turner was booked into the Warren County Jail in McMinnville last night. Her attorney, Peter Strianse of Nashville, was unavailable for comment late last night.
