NEWPORT, WA— A Newport woman and local teacher was arrested Tuesday following an investigation into allegations of sexual contact with two teenage boys, according to the Pend Oreille County Sheriff’s Office.

The investigation began May 18 after the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families contacted the sheriff’s office regarding a possible sexual abuse case involving two teenage males.

Authorities said 35-year-old Amber N. Swain of Newport was accused of having sexual contact with the two teenagers. Forensic interviews were conducted with the alleged victims, and detectives interviewed Swain on June 2.
