Her public defender declined to comment to The Associated Press on Saturday.
She was recently hired as a first-grade teacher at Dayspring Christian School in Springfield but expected to be fired following her arrest, The Kansas City Star reported. An AP request for comment to the school wasn't immediately returned Saturday.
Prosecutors charged Wilson's husband, Zachary John Wilson, with the same crime in February.
