A South Australian relief teacher accused of grooming a boy has faced court, with prosecutors seeking more time to meet with the alleged victim and his family.
Ammy Singleton, 28, has been charged with communicating to make a child amenable to sexual activity.
Court documents reveal the alleged offending took place at Port Augusta last November.
The prosecutor told the Port Augusta Magistrates Court on Wednesday she needed a further 12 weeks to analyse electronic evidence and to meet with the alleged victim and his family.
Ms Singleton's lawyer and Magistrate David McLeod said 12 weeks was "excessive".
The matter returns to court in July.
In February, Port Augusta West Primary School principal David Lawton wrote to parents telling them Ms Singleton, who was a temporary relief teacher at the school, had been charged with a child sexual offence.
The letter said Ms Singleton only taught at the school on one occasion in July 2020.
"The incident does not involve any students at our school and the information available to the school suggests there is no need for any concern for any children at our school," it read.
"Ms Singleton has bail conditions that prevent her from engaging in any child-related work
"I understand this is distressing information."
