A former Georgia high school teacher has been arrested and charged with child molestation, less than a year after she posted a video on social media complaining about how men are 'creepy'.
Danielle Weaver, a 29-year-old married mother-of-two, was taken into custody by the Leesburg Police Department on February 18, according to a press release from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).
Weaver worked at Lee County High School, which received allegations on February 3 that a female teacher had inappropriate contact with a minor student, per the release.
Police said they identified Weaver as the teacher and by February 17, authorities had obtained an arrest warrant. Weaver turned herself in the next day and was later released on bond.
Weaver's TikTok page has been flooded with people leaving comments referencing her legal troubles.

'Okay, I just need to know something for a minute. Why do men have to be so creepy sometimes?' she said.
The irony, given she now faces a child molestation charge, was not lost on commenters, one of whom wrote: 'Why do teachers gotta be so creepy?'
Danielle Weaver, a 29-year-old teacher Lee County High School in Georgia, was arrested last week and charged with molesting a child
An investigation by Leesburg Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation found that Weaver, who has two young daughters, had inappropriate contact with a minor student
Authorities have not released much information so far, but the Lee County School System shed light on the possible age of the victim in their statement from several weeks ago when the investigation first began.
'We, at the 9th grade campus, can confirm that there is an ongoing legal investigation involving law enforcement concerning the alleged conduct of a former staff member who is no longer working for the district,' the school district said on February 5.
'Upon discovering the allegations, school and district leadership acted immediately to ensure the safety and well-being of students, as well as to conduct a thorough investigation,' the statement concluded.
Weaver was officially charged with Child Molestation and Improper Sexual Contact by Employee, Agent, or Foster Parent. Penalties for this offense vary widely based on the types of sexual acts committed and the age of the victim.
The investigation into Weaver is active and ongoing, according to the GBI. Once the case is complete, the matter will be referred to Southwestern Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
Court documents obtained by the Daily Mail show that Weaver's husband, Caleb, filed for divorce on February 19, the day after she was arrested.
They share two young daughters, both of whom Weaver prominently featured in videos on her TikTok account.
Her social media page chronicles many of her life's milestones, including the day she got married to Caleb in January 2022 and the birth of her two children.

Her last TikTok video was posted on February 1, days before Caleb would break up with her and weeks before she'd be arrested.
Caleb said in his divorce petition that his relationship with Weaver ended on February 5 and that their union is now 'irretrievably broken'.
Records show that a judge granted him temporary custody over his daughters on Monday.
In that same order, the judge also gave Caleb possession over their marital home, which Weaver is not allowed to enter for any reason other than if she is visiting the children.
Caleb is seeking permanent custody, as well as child support, per court records.
