USA: An assistant teacher at a school for kids with behavioral problems had intercourse with one of her 14-year-old students.

She also sent him her lingerie pictures.

24-year-old Alyssa Gustafson admitted that she had a number of intercourses and sexual acts with the boy when she was working at the Circle Academy in Urbana, Illinois.

A court heard that she sent lingerie and bathing suit pictures to the boy.

She also visited the family home of the student.

The mother of the boy blasted Gustafson after he showed her the images, pictures, and videos that she had sent him on social media.

On October 30, 2020, Jude Roger Webber, the head that is handling the case of Gustafson, will be sentencing the former teacher for aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

A more serious count of criminal assault was dismissed by Kristin Alferink, the State Attorney of the state after Gustafson pleaded guilty to the charge.

Kristin will be seeing prison term for the teacher, but the attorney of Gustafson wants to get a community sentence for the former teacher.

In a statement that was released by the Circle Academy, the school where the incident happened, said that they will do anything to keep their students safe.

They added:

Our priority would always be the well-being and safety of our students. In our schools, we strive to provide a supportive environment conducive to learning. As with all new hires, we conduct extensive background checks on our employees and have verified that all appropriate checks were completed in this case.

The mother of the student, who was not identified for the protection of the 14-year-old boy, said:

It was numerous times; it was numerous messages; it was numerous conversations. He also told me that he had videos, text messages, pictures that was sent to him from the teacher. I never thought for once someone would have the audacity and the nerve to walk past me on my way out the door, knowing what her intentions were with my underage son.

The mother also wants a harsher sentence for the teacher.
