A 24-year-old Texas middle school teacher accused of having
a months-long affair with a 13-year-old student — who got her pregnant — turned
herself in Wednesday afternoon.
Alexandria Vera was booked on charges of continuous sexual
abuse of a child and released on $100,000 bail — a day after Houston police
issued a warrant for the raven-haired English teacher’s arrest.
She met — and fell in love with — the boy last summer at
Stovall Middle School in Houston, according to court documents obtained by ABC
13.
After the boy, now 14, skipped class one day, he sent Vera a
message on Instagram, asking her for her number — and if they could hang out
alone, according to KPRC Houston.
Vera, who has a 4-year-old daughter from a separate
relationship, told investigators at the district attorney’s office that the
very next day, she drove to his house when his parents weren’t home and had sex
with him for the first time.
Their illegal canoodling continued throughout the school
year — with students noticing the two flirting in between classes and them
having sex “on almost a daily basis,” according to court documents.
“He like grabbed her butt and everyone saw it,” one student
told ABC. “And then they were talking about it.”
“That kid was always over (Vera’s house in Spring, Texas,)
and she always told (neighbors) it was her brother,” a neighbor told WFAA-ABC.
At the fall open house, Vera officially met his parents and
was introduced as his girlfriend.
By January, his parents became increasingly welcoming to
Vera, who that month announced she was pregnant with the teen’s child,
according to local reports.
The Aldine Independent School District put Vera on
administrative leave in April once details of her affair started circulating.
“The safety and security of Aldine ISD’s students and staff
remains a priority of the school district,” the district said in a statement.
