Ex-Teacher Accused of Sex with Student Back in Court

HOUSTON, TX — The arraignment of a 24-year old former Aldine ISD middle school teacher accused of having a long-term sexual relationship with a 13-year-old boy has been reset for Oct. 18.

Alexandria Vera was a Stovall Middle School teacher when authorities said she began a sexual relationship with one of her students.

Court records read Vera became pregnant by the teen and later had an abortion when questioned about the relationship.

The pregnancy and subsequent abortion came to light when Child Protective Services were notified about the possible sexual relationship.

Law enforcement authorities began looking for Vera in late May, and in June, she turned herself into the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

Vera was released on a $100,000 bond, ordered to have no contact with the victim, to remain off the internet, and be equipped with a GPS tracking device, and could have no contact with other children or be in or near any schools.

Vera also had a court-ordered curfew between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m., but on July 26, court records indicate she missed her curfew.

Prosecutors have not said if she will face additional charges

Vera met the boy while he was a summer school student of hers in 2015.

Court records indicate the boy’s family was aware of the sexual relationship and that he apparently had the family’s approval.

If Vera is convicted, she could spend 25 years to life in prison with the possibility of no parole.
