Lindgren is accused of sexually touching and kissing one boy in her classroom, a second boy on the school campus and a third student in her car.

The incidents occurred between 2012 and 2014.

'The students, parents, faculty and staff of Fullerton School District came together to overcome the difficulties surrounding the acts of this teacher,' Superintendent Bob Pletka said in a prepared statement.

If convicted, Lindgren faces a maximum sentence of 16 years and four months in prison and will be forced to enter the sex offenders registry.
