Teacher who got pregnant after sex with 13-year-old student faces 99 years in jail

Madison Alexandria Vera in August admitted to having sex almost everyday with the teenager between September 2015 and January 2016, according to court documents in the case published in The Independent. 

The English teacher who became pregnant with one of her students, aged 13, could pass between 25 and 99 years in prison for repeated sexual abuse.

Vera defended herself saying that the relationship had the consent of her parents, who were "happy" when they learned of the pregnancy.

According to court documents, Vera met the teenager in summer school and after classes touched him.

It all started when the child asked for the phone number to the teacher after missing a day at school. Thus they began to send messages via Instagram, and more and more often to the point of having sex. 

Authorities issued an arrest warrant against the teacher, who claimed to have suffered a spontaneous abortion after people of Child Protective Services visited her at the Thomas J. Stovall school where she was teaching,  for questioning about the alleged relationship.

She has been placed on administrative leave by the school district.
