Teacher Undraped on Student's Cell Phone

(Center, Texas) A 26-year-old eighth-grade teacher, Janet Susan Parker, surrendered to Shelby County authorities on Wednesday after arrest warrants were issued for allegedly engaging in a sexual relationship with a student.

An investigation of Parker was initiated in December 2006 after she was seen holding hands with a student at a local shopping mall. Parker was asked about the incident and subsequently resigned her teaching position. For lack of evidence, no further action was taken although an inappropriate relationship was suspected.

About two weeks ago, the case against Parker was reopened after a student's cell phone was confiscated at school. School staff then found a partially-nude photo of Parker. Pursuant to a warrant, Sheriff's deputies searched Parker's home and computers and found numerous photos of Parker and the student as well as e-mails, chats and 15 photographs believed to be child pornography.

Parker faces multiple counts of sexual performance by a child, sexual assault of a child and felony possession of child pornography. Meanwhile, the student has admitted to having sex with Parker.

Parker was booked into custody. There's no information on bond.
