Lauren Kennamore

Lauren Kennamore, an academic counselor for the University of Mississippi’s School of Journalism and New Media, was indicted Tuesday on one count of enticement of a child.

Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards said Kennamore was indicted by a grand jury on Oct. 8 and booked into the county jail, WTVA 9 reports. 

According to the indictment, the alleged crime occurred earlier this year.  Before becoming an academic counselor at the university, Kennamore was employed as a teacher at the West Union Attendance Center in Myrtle, Miss. According to Edwards, she was fired as a result of the incident.

The university placed Kennamore on leave today, according to Director of News and Media Relations Jacob Batte.

Kareem Russell, assistant dean for student services for the School of Journalism and New Media, sent an email informing students that he will temporarily serve as the academic counselor for those that were previously assigned to Kennamore.
