A Georgia high school science teacher who was allegedly moonlighting on OnlyFans is now facing 27 charges for allegedly having sex with at least seven students.
Maris Nichols, 25, sported beige jail overalls and glasses as she appeared in court for the first time Thursday after being indicted by a grand jury over the string of alleged offenses, 11Alive reported.
The now-suspended Alexander High teacher was arrested twice last month as fresh accusers came forward after the initial complaint.
She surrendered on Wednesday after prosecutors called for her bond to be revoked, citing 85 bond violations within a month — with her charges now upgraded to 27 counts involving seven different accusers.
Eight of Nichols’ 27 charges relate to sexual contact — but she now faces accusations including the sexual exploitation of children.
She’s also accused of child cruelty, grooming, molestation, evidence tampering, and creating obscene material for children.
The biology teacher — who was allegedly blackmailed over her OnlyFans account by students so they could get better grades — allegedly helped create explicit content which featured children.
Her next hearing will take place on Monday, with her arraignment scheduled for August 4.
She will also remain behind bars after prosecutors claimed she posed a “significant threat to the community,” according to court documents seen by The Post.
Nichols was first arrested on May 8, accused of having sex with the same student twice – once in a closet and then in a Hummer parked on a driveway.
She allegedly had sex with another boy in his car at a golf course, and sexted other teens – sending nudes to one girl and asking her to discuss the raunchy “Fifty Shades of Grey” franchise.
She allegedly also had sex with one of her victims while wearing a “Jesus Loves You” sweater.
The ages of her victims have not been revealed, but at least two were younger than 16, WSB reported.
Nichols had been out on a $74,000 bond but racked up a slew of house arrest violations – including alleged visits to locations where children had been present.
Her bond conditions included staying away from Alexander High, where she had been employed since 2023, and banned from contacting children except her 6-year-old daughter.
