Authorities say the woman allegedly abused her position of trust with students — and there are multiple alleged victims.
Sheriff Beckett Breaux began an investigation on January 28.
This happened after a complaint was received that Noel had an “inappropriate relationship with one of his former students”.
At the time, she was a teacher at Teche Elementary School.

Authorities say additional charges were added after another unidentified alleged victim was identified.
Authorities have not disclosed the ages of the former teacher’s alleged victims.
Noel is now being held at the St. Martin Parish Correctional Center, and has been there since Monday.
