Kinley was arrested in February and accused of having sexual conduct with a student in late 2004 and early 2005 while she was teaching at Hammond Middle School in Laurel. She was charged with two counts of third-degree sex offense, two counts of fourth-degree sex offense and two counts of solicitation of a minor.
