A female middle school teacher allegedly had sex eight or nine times with a 15-year-old student at her home, while her own child was also present in the house.

Ellarea Silva, a 34-year-old science teacher at Northwestern Middle School in Zachary, Louisiana, turned herself in to police on Thursday following allegations she had sex with the boy on multiple occasions last summer, authorities said.

The illegal fling began when Silva emailed the teen using both their school email addresses, an arrest report stated.

The communication quickly switched to their personal emails 'so the school could not track' it, the report said.

Silva then allegedly sent the boy nude photos and videos of herself, intentionally keeping her face hidden so she couldn't be identified.

The relationship turned physical when the teacher then told the teen she wanted to have sex with him, authorities said.

The boy alleges Silva would pick him up from his home and drive him to her house where they would have sex.

He said they had sex eight or nine times in her home, while Silva's child was also present in the house.

Silva is also accused of giving the boy a vape that may have contained THC, the chemical compound in marijuana, police said.

As the fling continued, the teen told Silva he wanted to make their relationship public and the teacher pleaded with him to stay quiet 'due to how his disclosure would affect her career and her family,' the arrest report said.

However school officials and police did not disclose the nature of the investigation to the public.
