Texas Dance Teacher and Boy, 13

(Corpus Christi, Texas) A 41-year-old dance instructor at Most Precious Blood Catholic School, Sandra Borrego, has been arrested for allegedly engaging in sex with a 13-year-old boy. Borrego is charged with aggravated sexual assault on a child.

The alleged sexual episode occurred 10 months ago but was just recently reported to authorities. The boy victim is now 14 years old and possibly the father of a child that Borrego recently gave birth to. The Nueces County District Attorney Carlos Valdez is investigating the possibility. A warrant to draw blood from Borrego is being sought.

The Catholic Diocese of Corpus Christi issued a statement indicating that its primary concern is protection of children but would wait for the law enforcement investigation to conclude before taking action.

Borrego was booked at the Nueces County Jail and released on bond.
