Middle School Teacher Arrested for Sexual Abuse After 13-Year-Old Student Allegedly Gets Her Pregnant
A 24-year-old English teacher at Stovall Middle School in Houston, Texas, has been arrested and charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child after allegedly engaging in a sexual relationship with her 13-year-old student. Representatives for the Montgomery County Police believe that at one point, Alexandria Vera was also pregnant with the teenager's child.
According to court documents, the teacher met the student during a summer session at the school in 2015 but only began engaging in a relationship with him in the fall after he was assigned to her class. The pair allegedly first had sex at the boy's parents' house while they were at work, and the student later introduced Vera to his family as his girlfriend. Reportedly, his parents were very accepting of the relationship and even allowed the child to stay over at Vera's home on a regular basis.
Vera claims that she and the student "had sex on almost a daily basis at her home," and that she became pregnant with his child in January 2016. While she says that the student's parents were "very supportive and excited" about the baby, she decided to have an abortion after Child Protective Services showed up at the school to investigate her relationship with the student.
While Vera initially denied having any involvement with the teen, she eventually confessed to the relationship and now claims that the two are in love. She turned herself into police Wednesday and is currently being held at Montgomery County Jail.
