A teacher has been charged after she allegedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old in her home and had a child with the boy - discovered years later by her victim's father. Laura Caron, a 34-year-old from New Jersey, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child. The year five teacher at Middle Township Elementary School allegedly carried out the assaults between 2016 and 2020.
She is alleged to have begun sexually assaulting the boy while he lived at her home during those four years when he was 13. Caron was 28 at the time and went on to have a child with the boy in 2019, according to police. The serious allegations only came to light when the boy's father wrote a social media post in December 2024 that said Caron's son - then five - looked very similar to himself and his son. Officials said Caron taught the victim and his brother while they were in year five.
The parents of the victim became friends with Caron over the years and led to them staying at her home at time and then permanently from between 2016 and 2020, authorities said in court documents. The victim's sister, who also stayed at the home, told police that Caron allegedly slept with her brother in the same bed when he was 11.
