I don’t think this excuse is going to fly in court.
A 24-year-old elementary school teacher is accused of sexually assaulting one of her male students and told police that she wanted to make the boy ‘happy.’
Katherine Gonzalez was arrested and charged with one count of first degree sexual assault.
Prosecutors said the fifth grade teacher at Atlas Preparatory Academy, a Choice school, had been messaging one of her male students on SnapChat
The teacher allegedly told the student not to tell anyone about their relationship because she could lose her job and go to jail.
Gonzalez told authorities that the victim is ‘chronically depressed’ and admitted to saying things to make the student happy.
She is being held on $15k bond. She has been placed on administrative leave.
