A Georgia elementary school principal and teacher resigned after an investigation found there was evidence they had a sexual relationship and that sexual activity occurred between them on school grounds.

An independent investigation was launched last month after Banks County Superintendent Dr. Ann Hopkins reported she was “informed about allegations of sexual misconduct” between Banks County Elementary School Principal Dr. Dana Simmons, and physical education teacher Dylan Charles, according to a report obtained by PEOPLE.

Simmons, who was in her third year as principal, initially contacted Hopkins with concerns that Charles had “bugged her office” or had insider access to Board of Education information, officials wrote in the six-page report.

In a meeting with the administration, Charles admitted to having been involved in an extramarital affair with Simmons for “several years,” according to the report. He told those responsible that they engaged in sexual activity “on a routine” basis at school and provided photos of them kissing.

Another photo provided during the course of the investigation showed a naked woman standing in a room identified as a bathroom next to Simmons’ office, and a video showed a man and a woman identified as he and Simmons , having sex in a car, the report says.

Simmons initially denied the affair and said she had an “inappropriate friendship” with Charles, but later admitted it, the report said. However, she denied having any sexual encounters at school.

During the investigation, Simmons claimed that Charles’ wife, a fellow teacher at the school, “initiated the sexual relations” between her and the physical education teacher and that his wife also watched them have sex.

Although the report noted that Simmons was “very remorseful,” it said she “made no explanation other than that she made a terrible mistake.”

In an interview with Charles’ wife, Kelsey, identified in the report as a third-grade teacher, she admitted to watching and filming them.

Kelsey further claimed that Simmons “pressured her to allow her to have sex with her husband” and “promised to help her with her career.”

According to the report, during a series of separate interviews, an employee described as a “confidant” of Simmons claimed to have seen a text message from Kelsey asking if Simmons wanted to have sex with her husband.

In another interview, a former adjunct professor at the school claimed that Simmons once “approached her about joining a swingers group,” which she ignored, the report said. She told investigators that one of the reasons she decided to stop working for the school system was because she thought Simmons was “unprofessional.”

Investigators concluded in the report that there was “conclusive evidence” of the affair as well as evidence that sexual activity occurred on school grounds at least once, citing the photo of Simmons found in the bathroom was taken near her office.

The news that Simmons had resigned was announced on January 27, just days after the investigative report was released.

“Dr. Dana Simmons has resigned as principal,” said Hopkins’ statement, which was shared on a Banks County Schools social media account.

School officials confirmed to Fox affiliate WAGA-TV that Charles also resigned following the investigation. The media reported, citing Banks News Today, that the teacher’s wife also resigned.

“All issues related to unethical behavior will be thoroughly investigated, appropriately addressed and, if necessary, reported to the Professional Standards Commission,” Hopkins said in a statement obtained by the outlet. “The educators involved no longer teach Banks County students. The safety and well-being of our students is always our top priority. The investigation into this incident found no evidence that student safety was at risk.”

Hopkins did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

According to WAGA-TV, the Professional Standards Commission is now investigating.
