An ex-teacher has been accused of disturbing crimes bordering on sexual assault of multiple minors who were her students.
Reports say 25-year-old Jaden Charles, a former teacher from Texas, was arrested on allegations she sexually assaulted many of her students.
@theneighborhoodtalk, for instance, reports that an investigation was launched after parents called the school to report their concerns that a teacher had been with their child.
“The nail in the coffin was one of the parents having video of the ex-teacher with their child at a hotel,” the report said.
The investigation confirmed that Charles allegedly gave vapes to male students and sexually assaulted several of them.
According to the Alice Echo-News Journal, Agua Dulce City Marshal Joe Martinez said these alleged incidents occurred prior to Charles working as a teacher with the city’s district.
For many, her prior actions makes her decision to become a teacher seem calculated, as it would give her access to more young boys.
Investigations are still ongoing.
Meanwhile, she’s been charged with two counts of grooming and two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
In Agua Dulce, Texas, as in many other jurisdictions, the potential sentences for the charges of grooming and aggravated sexual assault of a child may include the following:
Grooming Charges
Class A misdemeanor: Up to 1 year in county jail and/or a fine of up to $4,000.
Third-degree felony: 2 to 10 years in state prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000.
Second-degree felony: 2 to 20 years in state prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000.
First-degree felony: 5 years to life imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $10,000.
Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child Charges
Second-degree felony: 2 to 20 years in state prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000.
First-degree felony: 5 years to life imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $10,000.
In addition to imprisonment and fines, individuals convicted of these offenses may also face other penalties, including mandatory registration as a sex offender, probation, community service, and court-ordered counseling or treatment programs.
The actual sentence imposed will, however, depend on various factors, including the specific circumstances of the case, the defendant’s criminal history, the age of the victim, and the discretion of the presiding judge.
