Teacher Allegedly Sexually Abused Boy in Her Bedroom

A Naperville middle school teacher was charged with one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, police said, after she sexually abused a 16-year-old boy in her home with the boy’s mother in the house.

Christine Taylor, 44, of the 1100 block of Spring Garden Circle, had the boy and his mother over for pizza on New Year’s Day, ABC Chicago reported. Taylor then convinced the mom to let the boy come with her to walk the dog. Instead, she took the boy to her bedroom and sexually abused him, according to the report.

Taylor was caught abusing the boy by his mom. Another resident in Taylor’s home called the police.

Her bail was set at $300,000 on Sunday. Taylor taught at Jefferson Middle School. The boy was not a student at the school, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.

“While the victim in this case was not a student at Jefferson Middle School, Ms. Taylor, as a teacher, still holds a position of trust in the community,” State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said.

Naperville School District 203 said in a statement on its website that Taylor has been placed on administrative leave and is not allowed in any District 203 schools pending the investigation.

“Naperville 203 takes allegations of staff misconduct very seriously and student safety is our number one priority,” the statement said. “We will continue to work with the Naperville Police Department on this matter and counselors are available for students when they return to school should they require assistance.”
