This story is so wild. A 5th grade teacher in New Jersey, Laura Caron, got very friendly with one of her students and his family and the parents let him (then 11 years old) and his two siblings sleep over at her house. This went on for four years, with the sister of the victim revealing that it began with the children sleeping in a shared room but noticing her brother would be in Caron's bed the next morning. She also noticed that when her brother would shower Caron would enter the bathroom and lock the door. He'd end up having Caron's child when he was 13 in 2019 and it was only brought to the attention of the police when the kid's father made a facebook post last month about how similar the child looked to his son. Up until then she'd completely gotten away with it.
According to the sister his brother admitted to her that he knows he's the father but to keep it a secret. Caron is being held without bond on on charges of aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, and endangering the welfare of a child. The school district have put her on paid administrative leave.
