Female teacher, in a Texas school, US, has bagged 10 years imprisonment for daily having sex with her 13-year-old student, to the extent she got pregnant. The teacher, Alexandria Vera, 25, admitted to having sex with the boy. According to Vera, the boy’s family approved of the affair, and even became supportive when she got pregnant.
According to the Washington Post, Vera, who was impregnated by her student, had been sentenced to 10 years in prison. Vera was facing up to 30 years behind bars after pleading guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child in November.
She admitted to police that a relationship that started with Instagram messages between her and the boy blossomed into a romance, one that the boy’s family approved of.
A judge in the 209th District Court in Houston said during Vera’s sentencing hearing on Friday that he does not believe the former English teacher is a danger to children or a classic pedophile. Judge Michael McSpadden said he wants to send a message to the community by giving Vera some prison time. McSpadden said: “We want our educators to teach our students.
We want them to keep their hands off students.” Vera, a teacher at Stovall Middle School in Houston, was arrested in June and initially charged with continuous sexual assault of a child, which carries a maximum of life imprisonment. Her sentence was capped at 30 years after she pleaded guilty.
Vera told police that she met the boy during summer school in 2015. She said she initially resisted the boy’s advances until sometime last fall, when she agreed to hang out with him. Prosecutors say Vera and the teen had sex almost every day for nine months.
She told investigators that they love each other. During the relationship, Vera told her neighbours that the boy was her brother. Prosecutors say Vera groomed the child and his family, even moving the teen and his father into her home and pretending she was dating the father.
