Meyer is accused of sex crimes that began in 2009. She allegedly performed sexual acts with her student, a teenage boy, at Two Rivers Public Charter School. 

One of her alleged victims, now age 24,  contacted her employer in June of 2019, according to records. The man contacted the principal of a school she had  worked at prior to her time at Onaway Elementary.
