Formella was arrested after one of her students told cops she had sexually abused him in a classroom session in December 2023.

The boy’s mom discovered texts on his phone which revealed the alleged abuse, and contacted the police.

She was originally charged during her first court appearance with two counts of sexual abuse and one count of sexual assault.

However, on Tuesday, DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin added an additional 52 charges against the teacher for newly discovered alleged abuse involving the same student.

The jury charged her with 20 more counts of sexual assault, 20 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, six counts of indecent solicitation of a child, and six counts of grooming.

An investigation prompted by the initial report revealed that Formella allegedly engaged in sexual activities with the boy approximately 50 times from January 2023 to August of 2024, as presented in court.

During that time period, Berlin’s office said, Formella allegedly sent the boy multiple text messages that were “grooming in nature.”

The fresh allegations claim the two engaged in sex acts at least 45 times on the school grounds.

Berlin said: “The new allegations against Ms. Formella, including the allegations of grooming and that the abuse lasted nearly two years, are beyond disturbing.

“I thank the victim in this case for having the courage to come forward during what I imagine is an extremely difficult time for him.”

Formella denied the original three charges allegations and insists she has never had sex with the boy, according to an earlier court petition.

During her initial police interview, she pleaded her innocence and claimed she is a “good person” but that “everybody” targets her because of her good looks, according to documents obtained by WGN9.

She also claimed to be the victim of a “blackmail” plot, according to court docs.

“She claimed that one day, [the boy] had grabbed her phone unattended, had entered her passcode […] had sent the message to his phone, had then deleted the message from her phone, and had saved it to his phone as blackmail,” the document reads.

Messages revealed to the court show she allegedly told the victim: “I love having sex with you,” back in 2023 when she was 28.

The boy is said to have responded with: “I know baby I love it so much… It feels so good… It’s so passionate… It’s so intimate… It’s so perfect… I love you so so much mama.”

Formella appeared in court on Tuesday morning for a status hearing, where the state petitioned to keep her detained until trial.

Judge Mia McPherson denied the request, and Formella is next scheduled in court on August 4.

Formella, who is married to her college sweetheart, taught and coached her alleged victim soccer at Downers Grove South High School.

The boy’s mom unearthed the alleged assault when she bought him a new phone and was linking it to his iCloud account, according to the initial petition.

In the process, she allegedly came across texts between her son and the teacher discussing sexual contact, and even a relationship.

The “relationship” seemed to have been ended by the boy, cops said.

Her husband, Michael Formella, was stoney-faced as he accompanied his wife to court in April for a plea hearing.

The pair remained silent as they strode into the courtroom, also accompanied by their lawyers.
