Multiple search warrants were executed following her arrest, uncovering evidence implicating Cavignac, 31, in similar inappropriate relationships with students. Further evidence also indicated Wingerter had inappropriate relations with additional students who had not initially been identified.

A warrant was issued for Cavignac for having prohibited sexual conduct with a student. Wingerter received three new warrants: two counts of prohibited sexual conduct with a student and one for indecent behavior with a juvenile. Both were arrested Wednesday and booked into the Slidell City Jail.

The investigation remains ongoing.
