They say “age is just a number,” but we have a funny feeling that insignificant number might matter in this scenario.
A 24-year-old teacher is under fire for having sex with an eighth-grade student, and that’s not even the most messed up part of this whole ordeal.
According to KPRC News, Alexandria Vera is now pregnant with the 14-year-old’s child.
Vera also claims that the boys parents knew about their relationship and even approved. They would let him sleep over her house on occasion and she would drive him to the bus stop the next morning.
ABC 13 News reports, that the two are “in love,” according to Vera. They met in a class she taught last summer and then the relationship continued to blossom over social media.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, this relationship was publically known by his peers.
One student told ABC 13, “he grabbed her butt, and everybody saw it. And then they were talking about it.”
When Vera got pregnant, she tells investigators the family was “excited” and “very supportive” when they found out. However, Vera eventually aborted the unborn baby after she became nervous about having a child with a child. According to court documents, Child Protective Services visited the school and interviewed the couple about their relationship.
Aldine ISD’s Stovall Middle School, located near Houston, Texas, has since released the following statement:
Aldine ISD has been made aware that charges have been filed against a former Stovall Middle School teacher involved in inappropriate behavior with a male student. When the allegation was made in April, the teacher was immediately removed from the school and placed on administrative leave. Aldine ISD Police investigated the incident and turned their findings over to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. The safety and security of Aldine ISD’s students and staff remains a priority of the school district.
Vera is charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child and there’s currently a warrant out for her arrest–coincidentally, she’s nowhere to be found.
