Charlotte NC March 29 2010

Source: Charlotte Observer A 39-year-old former Charlotte-Mecklenburg high school teacher already charged with sexual activity with a 17-year-old female student has been charged with sexual activity with a second, 16-year-old female student, police said Sunday.

Brett Haight taught in the Global Studies and Economics Academy at Olympic High School.

A parent alerted authorities Dec. 1 and Haight resigned Jan. 6. He was arrested in February and charged with sexual activity with the 17-year-old girl.

Investigators said the sexual activity happened at Haight’s home and at the school in late November, and that they were looking into the possibility other students were victimized.

Sunday, police re-arrested Haight, who’d been free on $25,000 bond. He now faces a charge of taking indecent liberties with a student in addition to his previous charge of sexual activity with a student.

Haight is in Mecklenburg County jail under $10,000 bond.
