Suspect: Investigators are probing whether Cynthia Perkins (pictured) brought food contaminated with bodily fluids into school

A teacher accused of rape and child pornography may have brought baked goods into school which were filled with her bodily fluids, it has been claimed.

Cynthia Perkins, 34, is suspected of supplying tainted food which was served to children at a school in Livingston Parish, Louisiana.

According to WBRZ, parents at Westside Junior High School were informed of the investigation last week.

One mother said she feared her child had eaten the contaminated food and said the idea was 'disgusting and sick'.

Dozens of parents have reportedly met with school authorities to voice their fears about the case.

The tainted items are said to include donuts and a cupcake, and investigators are now trying to establish how many children may have been affected.

One mother said her child would be 'tested for anything and everything that I can get her tested for' after the possible contamination.

However, school authorities said there was no district policy on what foods could be brought onto the premises.

The baked goods were allegedly brought in from the home of Perkins and her husband Dennis, who were both arrested last month.

The circumstances in which the tainted food may have been served remain unclear.

The bizarre claim is the latest twist in an investigation which came to light on October 23 when the pair were booked on rape and child porn charges.

Cynthia Perkins, who had been a teacher in Livingston Parish since 2012, is accused of two counts of first-degree rape.

She also faces 60 counts of production of pornography involving a juvenile under the age of 13.

Her husband Dennis, a former sheriff's deputy, also faces counts of rape and producing pornography, as well as charges of video voyeurism and obscenity.

Police said Mr Perkins had thrown his cell phone off a bridge just before he was arrested in an alleged attempt to destroy evidence.

The 44-year-old was fired from his job as a deputy the day after his arrest.

'It is a sad day for us, for all law enforcement officers, when you arrest one of your own,' Sheriff Jason Ard said at the time.

'I do not condone these alleged acts. I am disappointed. I have always considered Denny a friend & a family member.'

The pair were arrested following a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the sheriff's office said.

'Protecting Louisiana children is one of my top priorities,' said state attorney general Jeff Landry at the time of their arrest.

'So my office and I will continue to do all we can to find and arrest child predators.'
