Scandalous School Affair:
A 30-year-old lunch lady, identified as Jenna Woodworth, found herself in hot water for an alleged inappropriate relationship with a high school student.
Woodworth, who was employed at East Central High School in San Antonio, Texas, was nabbed by authorities on Thursday for alleged sexual misconduct with a senior student.
According to the investigations, Woodworth is believed to have engaged in sexual activities with the student in a school closet on multiple occasions.
As per reports, a photo of the student was found in Woodworth's work locker, following her arrest. Both parties admitted to the relationship during police interviews.
The exact source of the police tip-off regarding this suspected crime is not known, but an arrest affidavit revealed that investigations were initiated on Wednesday morning.
The student revealed that Woodworth, allegedly, picked him up from a stadium parking lot using a school vehicle and then drove him back to campus. They entered the school through an employee-only entrance and had sexual encounters in the kitchen closet on at least two occasions.
The teen further claimed that Woodworth washed her hands and resumed work immediately after their trysts.
The relationship between the two is reported to have begun when the student was a freshman at the school.
The school authorities confirmed Woodworth's termination following the arrest. They also informed parents about the situation, stating that immediate and decisive action was taken upon learning of the incident.
The student's family, Child Protective Services, and the school district are all involved in the investigation.
Woodworth was charged with a second-degree felony for an improper relationship between an educator and a student. If convicted, she could face imprisonment for up to 20 years and a fine of up to $10,000[1][5].
The legal age of consent in Texas is 17 years old, but educators are prohibited from engaging in sexual activities with students, regardless of their age[1][5].
