A middle school teacher in Louisiana has been arrested for molesting a 15-year-old student, as reported by Complex.
Ellarea Silva, who teaches at Northwestern Middle School in Zachary, sent the boy pictures and videos of herself and reportedly had sex with him "eight or nine times." The boy wanted to go public with what she did, but she told him not to "due to how his disclosure would affect her career and her family."
Silva brought the boy over to have sex while her own child was at home.
In a statement acquired by WAFB 9, Zachary Schools Superintendent Scott Devillier said, "The Zachary Police Department and the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office have been handling this investigation. Immediately, when it was brought to our attention, we reported it to law enforcement and placed the employee on administrative leave. No one is covering up anything, nor sweeping anything under the rug. We are following the law, and I am unable to comment beyond this information.
"Detectives are requesting that parents of students who may have had contact with Silva talk to their children about their interactions with her and contact ZPD detectives at 225-654-9393 if they believe their child was victimized."
Silva's bond is set at $225,000.
17-Year-Old Makes History In Ohio After Graduating From College Before Finishing High School
Ya love to see it.
17-year-old Cameron Ray just defied the educational odds. The Ohio teen managed to graduate college before he’s even out of high school, making history in his hometown of Warrensville Heights. Though Cameron is still a junior in high school, he recently became the youngest student from Warrensville to earn a college degree before officially graduating high school after he earned his Associate’s degree from Cuyahoga Community College. Though he won’t be graduating high school until the spring of 2021, Cameron plans to attend Cleveland State University next semester to pursue his dream of becoming a film director.
Cameron was able to accomplish this impressive feat by enrolling in college early thanks to a special program called Ohio College Credit Plus. The program was implemented back in 2015 in order to allow students in grades 7 through 12 to earn college credits. Ohio families have benefitted greatly from this program, which has saved them more than $569 million in tuition and prepares students more thoroughly for their future careers. Cameron spoke about his exceptional accomplishment, saying, “Everyone is usually pretty surprised when I tell them I’m only a junior in high school. I’ve learned that sometimes it’s the best things in life you’ll be fearful of. But you’ve got to push yourself and get acquainted.” Preach!
