http://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/headlines/20110519-irving-biology-teacher-accused-of-3-month-sexual-affair-with-teen-student.ece An Irving high school teacher was arrested Wednesday night, accused by police of having had sex with a male student more than 20 times during a three-month period in 2009.
April St. John Alexander, 26, of Haltom City was charged with one count of inappropriate relationship between a student and a teacher – a felony. She was released from the Irving jail this morning on $50,000 bail.
Alexander was a biology teacher at MacArthur High School in Irving in the fall of 2009 when she started a relationship with a 16-year-old student, police said.
The student, now 18, told police that he and the teacher had sex approximately 25 times – both at the school and in Alexander’s car – from October to December of that year, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Irving police said they learned of the alleged relationship in March of this year, when they were investigating a separate but similar allegation against Alexander.
Alexander taught at MacArthur from October 2008 until her resignation in November 2010.
Irving ISD spokesman Tony Thetford said Alexander did not explain why she was resigning.
