yearlong séxual relationship with a student.
Police arrested Cara Alexander, a 27-year-old English
teacher at Woodside High School, last Friday
following an investigation into allegations made by
the parents of a 17-year-old student. According to
ABC local affiliaté WVEC, the boy's parents told
police that they found nudé photos of the teacher on
their son's phone last Tuesday.
According to court documents obtained by North
Carolina CBS affiliate WTKR, the student in question
told police that he had had séx with the teacher more
than 20 times since last summer. The documents
state that Alexander initiatéd contact with the
student by giving him her cell phone number.
Students at the school told the station they were
surprised that Alexander, whom they described as
"calm" and "friendly," would be involved in such
allegations.
"She never like, presented herself like she would do
that," senior Terrence Nabrict told WTKR.
Newport News Public Schools spokeswoman Michelle
Morgan-Price told the Newport News Virginian-Pilot
that Alexander has taught ninth-grade English at
Woodside since 2010 and was a substitute teacher
before then. Price said Alexander will be fired from
her position, and a recommendation will be made
that her state teaching license be revoked.
Newport News police said Alexander faces 13 felony
charges: six counts of using a communications
system to facilitate offenses involving children, six
counts of contributing to the délinquency of a minor
and one count of taking indécent liberties with a
minor.
