The specific charges included attempted lewd acts on a child, exhibiting harmful material to a minor, misdemeanor child molestation, and solicitation to engage in lewd acts. Alexander-Low, who also goes by Kim Alexander, is out on $78,000 bond and has been suspended from her teaching position.

[Update 04/16/05] According to this report, Alexander pleaded guilty yesterday before San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge Stephen Demetras to misdemeanor child molestation, exhibiting harmful material to a minor, and soliciting another to engage in a lewd act. She also must surrender her teaching license. Since her solicitations to the 15-year-old became known before any actual physical contact, she wasn't charged with a felony.

Sentencing has been scheduled for April 28. Alexander may still be get up to a year in jail in addition to the provisions of the plea agreement.
