(January 08, 2009)—A former McCamey school teacher has been jailed and charged with having an improper relationship between an educator and a student.
Upton County Sheriff Dan Brown said Vanessa Zuniga, 34, is being investigated for a relationship with an 18-year-old male McCamey High School student.
Zuniga remains in the Upton County Jail on the second-degree felony charge, said Deputy Sheriff Todd Helms.
If convicted, she could face a two to 20 year prison sentence and up to a $10,000 fine. No bond has been set.
Zuniga surrendered on Monday to the Upton County Sheriff's Office after being notified by authorities they had obtained a warrant for her arrest, according to a report filed by The Odessa American newspaper.
McCamey Superintendent Donny Wiley said Zuniga resigned her position prior surrendering to county authorities.
There was no word Wednesday on whether Zuniga had retained an attorney.

The difference is that he is a student and she is a teacher which maybe should be comsidering improper but definately not sex with a child.
It doesn't matter that he was 18.17 is the age of consent in Texas. What matters is that she was his teacher and therefore, by Texas penal code, it is illegal. It is illegal if he was in college and she was a professor. Improper relationship with a student is the charge, not sexual assault of a child. Read the article.
i dont see how any grown person can look at an 18 year old and see anything but a child....... i " mother" children that age that are my daughters friends, i sure cannot look at any of them except as like an adopted child or something
