A 42-year-old teacher, Jessica Kramer, was accused in mid-September of having an inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old male student at the same school.

In October, a 23-year-old female teaching assistant, Diana Pirvu, was accused of having “inappropriate contact” with a 13-year-old student at a nearby Buckeye middle school, Imagine Schools.

The two schools are located less than 10 km apart.

Buckeye authorities were alerted to Todd’s alleged liaison with the 15-year-old by her husband, who had allegedly found reams of letters between the teacher and the student that were “sexual in nature.”

The husband also reportedly found salacious messages on a laptop.

Investigators compiled evidence that the sexual abuse allegedly happened on and off the school’s campus and that the relationship lasted for two months.

Todd reportedly confessed to investigators that she had allegedly lied in her first interview with them because she was “so scared.”

Her charges include luring a minor for sexual exploitation, sexual exploitation of a minor and sexual conduct with a minor.
