Alexandria Vera was looking at 30 years in jail, so if she wants to look at it glass half full, it could have been a lot worse.
The Houston middle school teacher who admitted to having near-daily sex with a 13-year-old student has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Alexandria Vera told investigators that she was impregnated by the boy she met as an eighth grader in her summer school English class in 2015.
The 24-year-old faced 30 years in prison after prosecutors accused her of continuous sexual abuse, but she received less time after pleading guilty to a lesser charge, according to KPRC.
Investigators said that the illicit relationship began after the boy contacted Vera on Instagram, and they began having sex over the course of nine months.
Vera claimed that the boy’s parents knew what was happening, approved of it and let their son stay over at her house and were supportive of her keeping the baby.
She can get out after five years, the boy was taken away from his parents.
