A Texas teacher who is allegedly pregnant with her 16-year-old student's child was freed on a $20,000 bond on Monday, ABC news reported.
Jennifer Riojas, a 26-year-old science teacher at Carter-Riverside High School in Fort Worth, Texas, reportedly began an affair with a then-sophomore student in her class just months after starting at the school in August of 2009.
In court documents, the student told school officials he was 16 when he began to have sex with his teacher. He said Riojas even began attending his school football games, and the two would spend his lunch period together and drive to area motels to sleep together.
If Riojas tried to keep her highly illegal alleged underage affair a secret, she failed miserably.
"I heard some rumors," one student told local television station WFAA.
Riojas even reportedly came to visit the student in the hospital while he was recovering from an injury sustained on the football field and had sex with him in the hospital bed.
In between her trysts with the student, Riojas married another man, Armando Chavez in November of 2009. They filed for divorce four months later, according to WFAA.
It took until Riojas became pregnant for the student to come forward, the court documents reveal, because he feared he was the father of her child. She claimed that the father was a new boyfriend she began dating following her divorce, who is referred to as Paul in the court documents.
The allegedly tawdry teacher resigned from her job at the school in October, telling the district she was pregnant and couldn't handle the stress of the investigation.
Last week, she was charged with three counts of sexual assault of a child.
What's prenant
for cereal? you must be joking. Its a complete breach of the expectations of what is supposed to go on between a teacher and student, a complete breach of the trust people place in teachers and a crime. To say it shouldnt be a crime because young dudes are horny is a preposterous double standard.
