SOUTH HAVEN -- A teacher and a 14-year-old former female student whom she is accused of sexually assaulting participated in witchcraft together and even "wed" in a pagan ritual, police said.
Elizabeth Miklosovic, 36, a teacher at South Haven's Baseline Middle School, was arraigned Thursday on a charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in Van Buren County.
If convicted, Miklosovic faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. She was ordered held on $100,000 bond and remained in the county jail Friday.
Also Thursday, the Kent County prosecutor's office issued arrest warrants for Miklosovic on charges of first- and second-degree criminal sexual conduct that accuse her of performing illegal sex acts with the student at the teacher's Grand Rapids home.
Miklosovic lives with another woman and their adopted son, authorities said.
The student told a classmate about the relationship and the classmate told school officials, who placed the seventh-grade language arts teacher on leave from her job. Miklosovic has worked for South Haven Public Schools for three years.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Phone conversations between a Florida teacher and the 14-year-old student she allegedly had sex with were made public Thursday.
Debra Lafave has pleaded not guilty to four felony counts of lewd and lascivious battery and one count of lewd and lascivious exhibition. Each carry a maximum 15-year prison term.
Lafave's attorney, John Fitzgibbons, said in court earlier this week that he would file notice of an insanity defense.
"Debbie has some profound emotional issues that are not her fault," Fitzgibbons said after the hearing. Several doctors have examined Lafave in recent months, Fitzgibbons said, and their findings will cast light on what happened in this case.

(CBS/AP) Police have released taped phone conversations between a 24-year-old Florida model-turned-teacher and the 14-year-old student she allegedly had sex with.
Debra Lafave sounds childlike in the conversations. She says, "Ewww, you think I'm weird," when he expresses concern about having sex without a condom. When the student tells her she can come over because his mother is out she says, "Promise... pinky promise."
