The tattoo can be erased, but a criminal record lasts a lifetime. A North Carolina teacher accused of having sex with a high school student in a ménage à trois with her husband also got a tattoo with 15-year-old girl’s initials and likeness, police allege.

Durham County Sheriff's executed a search warrant on Thursday to seize computers, cellphones and take a photo of Michelle Smith White, 37, of Durham, N.C. White was charged in July with taking indecent liberties and sexual offense with a student at Jordan High School, the News & Observer reported.

The teacher was suspended by the school twice — once in 2012 and again in April before she resigned, according to the News & Observer.
