Teacher Angela Csader Sentenced - Updated

(Maricopa County, Arizona) As a result of pleading guilty to two counts of sexual conduct with a minor (a 16-year-old boy), 25-year-old Angela Csader was sentenced to 90 days in the county jail.

Csader and the teen first had sex in August 2006, and they had sex at least twice more in the next month, records show. The boy also fathered her child.

She told officers that she once drove to Gilbert High School on the boy’s lunch break to have sex in her truck.

Police learned of the situation more than a year before Csader resigned, and in May she admitted having sex with the boy. But Csader wasn’t arrested until Dec. 18.

Csader also was given 15 years probation and ordered to register as a sex offender.

(Florence, Arizona) A kindergarten teacher at Anthem Elementary School, Angela Csader, was arrested in July 2007 for engaging in a long-term sexual relationship with, and birthing a child by, a 16-year-old boy.

Csader, 25, was charged with three counts of sexual conduct with a minor.

Despite the sex crime charges, Csader continued to work as a kindergarten teacher until January 2008 when the Florence Unified School District was notified.

District spokesman Larry Cline said the school found out on Jan. 30 that Csader's fingerprint card was revoked. To be certified as a teacher, state law requires a fingerprint clearance card issued by the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

But DPS officials said they don't notify schools if a fingerprint check pops up.

"There is no alert system where information about a teacher arrested would be forwarded," DPS spokesman Harold Sanders said.

Sanders said his department would only send out information about sex offenders. But Csader is still awaiting trial.

Immediately after the district learned of her arrest, Csader resigned. For the sex crime charges, she has a court appearance scheduled for February 26.

Gilbert police explained that they didn't know Csader was a teacher at the time of her arrest since she claimed to be a nanny. Otherwise, they would have notified the school district.
