A teacher has gone on the run in America after allegedly beginning a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old pupil, according to reports.

English teacher Alexandria Vera, 24, and the pupil “had sex almost on almost a daily basis” between September 2015 and January this year, district court documents state.

Vera and the teenager met during a summer school session and then later began messaging on Instagram before meeting up outside of school.

According to reports, the teenager’s family approved of the relationship, invited her to family gatherings and allowed the boy to spend the night at Vera’s home with her.

The relationship then came to the attention of the school’s principal after it reportedly became the subject of gossip.

Vera then allegedly became pregnant with the teenager’s baby in January, ABC13 reported, and the boy’s family were said to be excited and supportive about the pregnancy.

But she later reportedly terminated the pregnancy after “she got nervous when Child Protective Services unexpectedly showed up at school” to ask her questions about her relationship with the boy.

Prosecutors in Texas have charged Vera with the offence of continuous sexual abuse of a child, but she left her home before officers with an arrest warrant attended her address.
