Did Middle Twp Elementary Teacher Have Student’s Child?
The charges against a 5th-grade teacher at Middle Township Elementary School #2 are growing more shocking.
The teacher who is accused of sexually violating a student in her school is also suspected of having the victim's baby.
Laura Caron, 34, of Cape May Court House, was arrested on Wednesday on charges of aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, and endangering the welfare of a child.
After the initial charges were announced on Wednesday by Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey H, Sutherland, another even more worrisome aspect of this case became known.
According to the criminal complaint seen by 6ABC, in a text message to his sister, the victim allegedly admitted that he was the father of Caron's 5-year-old child and asked her to keep it a secret.
Caron Had Taught the Boy and His Brother
The prosecutor says Caron taught the victim and his brother in the 5th grade.
6ABC reports that the children's parents became friendly with Caron and their two boys and a sister began to sleep over at her house occasionally.
The sleepovers began one to two nights a week, but the children stayed with Caron permanently from 2016 to 2020, authorities revealed in court documents.
It's not clear why the children were staying in Caron's home.
The victim's sister allegedly told police she thought her brother was about 11 years old when he started sleeping with his teacher in the same bed.
Caron was 28 years old at the time.
The sister reportedly told officers that the three children would sleep together in a shared spare bedroom.
But she began to notice her brother would be in Caron's bed the next morning. She also reportedly told police that Caron would enter the bathroom when her brother would shower and lock the door.
The victim's brother reportedly told police he once witnessed Caron sexually violating his brother.
Father Questioned Relationship On Facebook
According to investigators, the victim’s father took to Facebook in December to say he thought that his son and Caron’s 5-year-old child looked like one another.
Caron and the victim were reportedly still in contact until his father began to question the relationship.
During an interview with the boy, police say the victim confirmed he had a sexual relationship with his teacher and that he was the father of her child.
Teacher Is Jailed
Caron is being held at the Cape May County Correctional Facility. She made her first court appearance via live stream on Thursday.
Laura Caron was a college basketball star for Cabrini University while in college. Her major was elementary education.
