Angela Barnes, a 45-year-old middle school teacher, was recently arrested and charged for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy, who was a former student of hers. In her mugshot, Barnes can be seen grinning while wearing a white sleeveless shirt and sporting wavy blonde locks. The booking photo was released by the Keller Police Department on Monday.
According to detectives, the evidence suggests that Barnes engaged in a sexual affair with her former student during the months of June and July, while the school was on summer break. The investigation into Barnes began in late September after receiving a tip. She has since been charged with sexual assault of a child and improper relationship between an educator and student.
Barnes was arrested on Monday and is currently being held at the Keller Regional Detention Center in Texas. Authorities do not believe there are any other victims involved in this case. In a statement released by the Carroll Independent School District on Tuesday, it was revealed that Barnes had been immediately placed on administrative leave and the proper authorities were notified.
The district also stated that the alleged offense took place off-campus over the summer, within the jurisdiction of the Keller Police Department. They are working closely with the police and Child Protective Services during the investigation, as the safety and security of all students is their top priority. Any allegations of adult misconduct are promptly addressed and reported to the proper authorities.
If anyone has any information regarding this incident, they are urged to contact the police department. This arrest comes just a month-and-a-half after a similar case in Missouri, where high school math teacher Hailey Clifton-Carmack, 26, pleaded guilty to sexual contact with a 16-year-old student. Clifton-Carmack can be seen with a blank expression in her mugshot released by the Garden Ridge Police Department.
The former Laquey High School teacher was sentenced to four years in prison and a 120-day sex offender treatment and assessment program on October 11. It is a disturbing trend to see educators engaging in inappropriate relationships with their students, and it is important for authorities to take swift action to protect our young people.
