School security assistant and mother of two 'plotted with 15-year-old student lover to murder her husband'

A former security assistant at a Virginia school conspired with a 15-year-old student with whom she had a sexual relationship to kill her husband, police said Thursday.

Patience Justine Perez, 22, was charged in Norfolk on Tuesday in connection with the murder scheme.

Perez also faces multiple charges of taking indecent liberties with a child by a person in a custodial or supervisory relationship, and a charge of using a communications system to facilitate certain crimes against children.

Evil plot: Police say Patience Perez plotted to kill her husband with her 15-year-old lover

It wasn't immediately clear Thursday whether Perez, who worked at Renaissance Academy in Virginia Beach and lives in Norfolk, had an attorney.

Perez, 22, is being held in the Norfolk City Jail without bond, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 10.

Norfolk police spokeswoman Karen Parker-Chesson said Perez and the boy engaged in at least one conversation to plan to kill Perez's husband.

Parker-Chesson said detectives are continuing to investigate the case and that the boy does not currently face charges.

Norfolk police and the Norfolk Commonwealth Attorney's Office declined to provide further details.

Court records don't specify anything beyond the plot's target: Perez's husband, who was not identified by name in the documents.

Perez's home address is in a community near Naval Station Norfolk reserved for active-duty military personnel.

Police say Perez had consensual sex with the young teen on more than one occasion starting in February in Virginia Beach, Virginia.



Perez had worked at the Renaissance Academy until fired this week following the results of a police investigation.

Neighbors at Perez' military housing complex say her husband who serves in the Navy had just returned home when scathing accusations of her sexual conduct made by the school's administration were confirmed.

'How are we as parents supposed to trust even the neighbors that we live with?' Perez's outraged neighbor Bobby Quinn asked WTKR . 'It's actually quite shocking.'

'I was astonished because one, it’s disgusting and you should never do anything like that with a child and I would never expect that from her,' neighbor Brittany Szkaradnik also told WTKR.



Ms Szjaradnik said she use to babysit for Perez’s kids.

'She’s been such a respected person in our community, with kids and a husband that just came home,' she added.



Perez has been charged with felony custodial indecent liberties with a child and is currently out on bond.



Police are now searching for any additional victims.

The pair's sexual meetings are believed to have entirely occurred off school grounds.
