An investigation began in June after the girl's family contacted authorities. The girl said the relationship began in December 2002 when she was 14 and Wallace allegedly stapled a note to a paper saying the girl was attractive. Wallace's attorney said the girl doesn't have proof, saying she destroyed evidence. The teenager passed a polygraph test and witnesses support her story, according to police. Wallace has been relieved of her coaching duties and is reassigned to office work. Her attorney has filed a not guilty plea. The alleged victim said Wallace broke off the relationship in 2004, about a year after Wallace married a fellow Wharton teacher. Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
