According to court documents, Geraldine Alcorn, 29, of Pittsburgh was charged back in March after police were alerted by a youth worker that the child’s mother had caught Alcorn and her daughter home alone in the child’s home.

The mother found several letters written by the child to Alcorn which were titled “Things Ms. Alocorn and I can do,” “What we can do,” and “When can we do it.” The mother also found 21 post-it stickers on the child’s binder.

During the investigation police were able to recover 2,400 text messages between the student and Alcorn over a two week period.

In several of the messages, the student and Alcorn expressed “a deep love for each other,” the court document alleges.

Alcorn faces five years of probation.
