A Texas middle-school teacher turned herself in to police after allegedly being impregnated by a 13-year-old student whose parents apparently knew she was having sex with him “almost on a daily basis.”

Alexandria Vera, a 24-year-old English teacher at Stovall Middle School, was charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child. The felony charge carries a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison for those found guilty.

Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Brady Fitzgerald confirmed Vera turned herself in around 9 a.m. CT (10 a.m. EST) Wednesday. She was released hours later on a $100,000 bond.

“She was booked into the Montgomery County jail and upon her meeting the requisites of the warrant that the judge put up for the bond, she was released from this location,” Fitzgerald told the Post.

The term “statutory rape” stopped being used in Texas law in 1974. Individuals who commit the crime are instead charged with sexual abuse of a child. Texas law recently implemented the “continuous sexual abuse of a child” charge to increase the punishment for individuals found guilty of sexually abusing a child under 13 over a period of more than 30 days.
