Teacher pregnant after trading vapes for sex with 12 boys: Cops

Article content

A Texas teacher told cops she was pregnant after being busted for allegedly having sex with 12 boys she’s accused of “luring” with vapes.

Cops say former high school science teacher Jaden Charles gave them the bundle of joy news when they arrested her last March.

She’s charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two counts of grooming. Her bond has been set at $400,000.

Local media reports say the alleged teaching temptress was ratted out by her appalled mother.

The investigation into Charles began when local cops in Alice, Texas, were probing students vaping at high schools. City Marshal Joe Martinez said she was giving the vapes to kids even before starting her teaching career.

Now, Police Chief Eden Garcia revealed to Scripps Howard News that Charles told detectives when she was busted that she was pregnant.

When the shocking charges emerged, Charles resigned from her teaching position. But cops say she had sex with two underage students even before she took the position.

Investigators now fear there are additional alleged victims. So far five students have come forward but detectives believe the number is closer to 12.

Charles’ alleged M.O. was to provide THC-loaded vapes and booze to the boys in exchange for sex.

“I think we’re going to add up several more charges,” Martinez told local media in March.

Cops claim there is also an X-rated video starring the teacher and one of her students at a local hot-sheet hotel.

“We do have parents that were concerned and made some calls about their children being with a teacher. We do have video of the teacher with a student at one of the hotels,” Garcia said.

Investigators don’t believe any inappropriate sexual activity took place on school property.

The bombshell revelations come hot on the heels of another Texas teacher accused of having sex with another underage student during the summer months.

Angela Dawn Barnes, 45, was charged by cops on Monday. She is charged with sexual assault of a child and improper relationship between educator and student.

“Detectives began investigating the case immediately and discovered that Barnes was engaged in a sexual relationship with an underage boy throughout the months of June and July 2024 and that the relationship had since ended,” police alleged.

Investigators do not believe there are other victims. She is now on administrative leave pending the matter’s resolution.
