(November 5, 2008)—Tara Allison Hodges, 26, a former teacher at Waco’s Brazos Middle School, who was charged in August after an investigation of allegations she had a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old student was named in a 10-count indictment Wednesday charging sexual assault of a child.

The investigation into the alleged relationship started after the teacher filed a false report of a sexual assault, authorities said.

According to the affidavit issued in August for Hodges’ arrest, the relationship started on June 6, 2008.

The affidavit says Hodges picked the student up in her car that evening and drove him to her apartment where the two smoked marijuana.

After that, the affidavit says Hodges performed oral sex on the student before having sex with him.

The two had sex at least ten separate times, and on several of those occasions, they smoked marijuana, the affidavit said.

Investigators said the student was given money and on two occasions, shoes were purchased for him.

Hodges was released after posting $300,000 bond in August.

JJ can you please get real. Predators do not pick some hot jock or popular child to sleep with (you know the kind of kid that has the confidence to tell an authoritive figure to bug off). A predator chooses a child that is shy, quite, seeking approval from adults or is just to scared to say no. She picked a victim and she should be prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law.
