CITY JAIL
Cara Alexander,
27, of Newport News, Va., is accused of sending nude pictures of herself to a
former student’s cellphone. The student also claims they had a relationship.
She has been in jail since Friday.
A 27-year-old
high school teacher in Virginia was busted for sexting a former student after
his parents found nude pics of her on his cellphone, police said.
Cara Alexander,
an English teacher at Woodside High School in Newport News, was arrested Friday
and charged with several offenses, including contributing to the delinquency of
a minor.
The 17-year-old
student told his parents that he was also in a relationship with Alexander, a
full-time ninth-grade teacher at the school since 2010, reported ABC affiliate
WVEC-TV.
While the teen
was previously under Alexander’s watch, he currently attends a different
school, a Newport News Public Schools spokeswoman told The Virginian-Pilot.
Officials
didn’t immediately say how long Alexander had allegedly been sexting the teen,
although they don’t believe they engaged in any inappropriate activity on
school grounds.
