Having an abortion to cover up sexual abuse is nothing new, and a Texas teacher appears to have done just that after she allegedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old student and became pregnant with his child.
Dallas News reports a Houston-area middle school teacher named Alexandria M. Vera, 24, allegedly had an on-going relationship with a 13-year-old male student. Police are still searching for Vera after charging her with continuous sexual abuse of a child, according to the report.
Vera, an eighth-grade English teacher at Stovall Middle School, reportedly became pregnant by the young teen but aborted the baby when authorities began to ask questions about her relationship with the boy, the report states.
According to court documents obtained by the Houston Chronicle, Vera said she and the boy were in love and began having sex in September 2015. She said the boy’s parents accepted their relationship and were excited when they learned that she was pregnant. According to authorities, the boy’s family even invited her to family gatherings.
Here is more from the report:
The documents also state that she became pregnant earlier this year but terminated the pregnancy the next month after Child Protective Services visited the school and questioned the pair about their relationship. She denied both the relationship and the pregnancy at that time.
Vera stated in a court documents that the student had asked her for her Instagram username so that they could follow each other last summer. She resisted until she found that he was a student in one of her English classes in the fall of 2015. She told authorities that what started as a flirtatious relationship later turned sexual in nature after they spent more time together.

In one of the more lurid passages in the court documents, Vera says that the boy would spend the night at her house and that she would drive him home the next morning so that he could ride the bus to school.
An Aldine ISD spokesperson tells the Houston Chronicle that she was removed from the campus on April 15, 2016 and the termination process for her employment is currently in process.
ABC News 13 reports the two did not hide their relationship very well at school. One student told the news station that she saw the 13-year-old boy grab Vera’s butt and “everybody saw it and then they were talking about it.”
Unborn babies often are second victims in sexual abuse cases like these.
In Ohio, a 14-year-old girl was impregnated by her 22-year-old soccer coach, a man who she and her parents trusted. The coach knew that he needed to get this “problem” taken care of as quietly as possible since the pregnancy was proof of his statutory rape – repeated statutory rape, in fact, that began almost a year earlier. He turned to Planned Parenthood. The coach later was convicted of sexual assault, and the abortion facility faced a lawsuit for failing to report the sexual abuse of the girl, LifeNews reported.
In an Arizona case, officials said Planned Parenthood failed to provide the proper report to authorities about a victim of a young man who is a serial rapist. Not only did Planned Parenthood fail to report the rape but, in so doing, it allowed the rapist to rape as many as 18 or more teenage girls, authorities said, making it so the abortion company is partially responsible for victimizing them as well.
Planned Parenthood abortion clinics have come under fire countless times over the years for not reporting cases of statutory rape to authorities as required by state law. In September 2015, Alliance Defending Freedom released a report cataloging multiple instances of Planned Parenthood performing abortions on sexually abused minors and failing to report the rapes to authorities as required by law. Affiliates of Planned Parenthood Federation of America instead accepted money for the abortions and allowed the rapists to roam free without any notification to the proper authorities.
