A teacher has been arrested in the United States for having sex with a 13-year-old student and fathering a child. According to the New York Post, Laura Caron, a fifth-grade teacher at an elementary school in New Jersey, kept the student in her home between 2016 and 2020.
During that time, the 28-year-old teacher had sex with the 13-year-old student multiple times. The teacher even became pregnant and gave birth to a child.
The Cape May County prosecutor’s office said in a press release that teacher Laura Caron first met the student when he was a fifth-grader.
The student’s family also lived nearby and the family allowed their sons and daughter to spend a few nights at Laura Caron’s house.
Later, in 2016, the student began living with the teacher permanently at her home for a while. The teacher gave birth to the child in 2019.
The student was 13 at the time and the teacher was 28, and now they are 19 and 34, respectively.
The student’s father learned of the relationship between the teacher and his son after seeing a Facebook post last December.
The student’s sister said she vaguely remembers that she and her brother slept in the teacher’s room and that when she woke up late at night, she found her sister in the teacher’s bed.
Police arrested Laura Caron on charges of sexual assault on Wednesday, who said the student’s father saw a picture of our child in the Facebook post, which looked exactly like his son.
