A high school teacher from Florida, USA, was arrested for spraying antiseptic on students who were not wearing their masks properly.

Christina Reszetar, 51, was made available by the High School where she worked and was taken into custody on four counts of child abuse, according to a report by local WFLA-TV station.

She told police that four of her students refused to cover their faces with the mask, despite the coronavirus pandemic sweeping the state.

She is accused of spraying the children with antiseptic directly "on their face and body", according to the police report provided by the station.

Reszetar has been teaching for 21 years and pleads not guilty, claiming that the closed-circuit videos of the school will acquit her of the charges.

The police confirmed that they have the material in their hands, however, they refused to comment on anything.
