(August 6, 2008) - A Brazos Middle School teacher turned herself in to Waco police Wednesday morning after allegedly having a sexual relationship with one of her students.

Warrants had been issued for 26 year old Tara Allison Hodges of Katy for Sexual Assault of a Child and Improper Relationship Between Educator and Student.

The investigation into the alleged relationship started after the 26 year old teacher filed a false report of a sexual assault.

Waco police say detectives then found that Hodges had been involved in a sexual relationship with a 14 year-old student while she was employed as a teacher for Waco I.S.D.

According to the arrest affidavit, the relationship started on June 6, 2008. The affidavit says Hodges picked the victim up in her car that evening, drove him to her apartment, and then the two smoked marijuana. After that Hodges allegedly performed oral sex on the student before having sex with him.

The two had sex at least ten separate times, and during several of these times they smoked marijuana, the affidavit says.

Police say Hodges gave the student money, and on two occasions bought him shoes.

Hodges is facing two 2nd degree felony charges. According to McLennan County Jail Officials, Hodges is free on $300,000 bond.

Yep, she has issues. As a teacher, there's no way on God's green Earth I would ever think or do that with a student. YUCK!!! Yes, she comes from a good home, but that doesn't mean she's immune to not making jacked up decisions like this one. You never know what's going on in someone's mind. Obviously, it wasn't much going on in her mind for her to do what she did. To those of you that know her and left comments, I know her too. So don't try and justify what happened and don't ask people to have sympathy for her. She was wrong!!! What if a teacher did that to your child? Would you try and justify it and ask for sympathy on that teacher then? To heck with the fact that you know her. Wrong is wrong. And if you can't see past that, then something is wrong with you too!!! And to Shirley, you need to get a clue!!!! Minorities aren't the only ones listening to rap music these days honey. WAKE UP! To K.Adams, who gives a darn about who she is. She's a CHILD MOLESTER/SEX OFFENDER.
