A 27-year-old Louisiana teacher apologized to cops for the "mistake" she made in “taking (a boy’s) innocence” after she was caught having a steamy sex affair with the 15-year-old freshman, police said. <br /> <br />Amber Anderson admitted she’d exchanged naked texts and later had sex with the Baton Rouge teen, now 17, during a summer fling in July and August of 2013, according to an affidavit obtained by The Times-Picayune. <br /> <br />The victim’s mom actually learned the two were close after searching the boy’s phone in 2013 and called the school to complain. But nothing was done until a friend of the boy told the mom this month the actual extent of the affair, according to the affidavit. <br /> <br />"It's always very concerning for detectives when we work the sexual assault cases or sexual cases that involve juveniles, but particularly when we work with a teacher and a student because they are in a roll of authority," Casey Rayborn-Hicks, of the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office, told WDAM-TV. <br /> <br />The teen victim told cops the two would exchange text messages, which eventually turned sexually graphic as they got closer. Most were sent between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. <br /> <br />Soon enough, he was walking to fast food joint near his house, where the predatory teacher would pick him up, according to the documents. <br /> <br />They’d go back to her house for sex, the boy told cops. <br /> <br />The Christian Life Academy teacher was still listed on the school website until Tuesday as a math teacher at the junior high and high school levels, according to the TV station. <br /> <br />The Mississippi State University graduate started working at the school in 2012. <br /> <br />"I do not know anything about this," Dr. Jere Melilli, a pastor and founder of the academy, told WDAM. "This is the first day that I have heard anything of this nature. We would have taken care of it then and she would no longer have been working for us that day I heard.” <br /> <br />Anderson will be fired, he said. Online records show she’s held at a local bail in lieu of $25,000 bail and faces a felony charge of carnal knowledge of a juvenile. <br /> <br />"We're devastated and yet we are thankful that it has been exposed because that type of thing just cannot be tolerated in an academic setting like this," Melilli said.
