Yet another female teacher has landed herself in hot water after being accused of bedding a student. This time a 34-year-old woman allegedly had a baby with the 13-year-old child who is reported to have been living with her for years.
Ex-South Jersey teacher Laura Caron is facing a multitude of charges after the alleged victim’s father is said to have “figured out” Caron’s baby was his teenage son’s. The dad even went as far as to write a Facebook post in December 2024 saying Caron’s five-year-old child looked very similar to him and his son, according to investigators.
Caron was arrested on Wednesday on charges of aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

The alleged crimes happened between 2016 and 2020 at the suspect’s home in Cape May Court House. Police say the alleged victim was 13 years old and living with then-28-year-old Caron when their child was born in 2019.
Police added Caron taught the victim and his brother in the 5th grade and that over the years she became friends with the boy’s family, ultimately letting the brothers and their sister to spend the night at Caron’s home. Court documents revealed the visits started at one or two nights a week and eventually lead to the kids staying with Caron permanently from 2016 to 2020.
The alleged victim started sleeping in the same bed as Caron when he was 11, his sister told police. She added the children would sleep in a shared room on a different floor to Caron, but that her brother ended up in Caron’s bed every morning. She further claimed Caron would go into the bathroom and lock it when her brother was in there, reports 6abc.
The alleged victim said in a text message to his sister that he was the father of Caron’s five-year-old child, but that she needed to keep it quiet, as per the documents.

The 13-year-old’s brother also told police that he allegedly saw Caron sexually assaulting his brother when she thought he was asleep.
Police say the boy confirmed he had a sexual relationship with his teacher in an interview and that he was the father of her child. He is said to have added that he was still in contact with Caron until his dad made the Facebook post.
