The student was alleged to have been living at her home, the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office said. 

The fifth-grade teacher was caught when the boy’s dad made a shocking realisation.

When he noticed a striking similarity between his son and the child on Facebook, he alerted authorities.

Officials alleged the schoolteacher sexually assaulted her former student between 2016 and 2020, with their child being born in 2019.

The two of them met when Caron taught him and his brother at Middle Township Elementary School, the New York Post reported.

The family of the teenager reportedly had a strong rapport with the teacher and permitted their two sons and daughter to stay at her house a few nights each week.

The trio lived permanently with Caron between 2016 and 2020, sharing a bedroom.

It was during that time that Caron allegedly fell pregnant after having “inappropriate sexual relations” with her former pupil, cops said.

The boy’s sister recalled going to sleep in the same room as her brother, only to awake and discover him in Caron’s bed, as stated in the criminal complaint.

She added that the teacher started sleeping with her brother when he was 11 years old.

The victim allegedly admitted to his sister in a text that he was the dad of the child and asked her to keep it a secret.

Investigators allege that the teen’s brother had once seen Caron sexually assaulting his sleeping brother.

The alleged victim, who is now between 19 and 20 years old, revealed the sexual relationship with Caron to investigators during an interview and confirmed he is the baby’s child.

Police arrested Caron at her home in January and charged her with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, and endangering the welfare of a child.

The grand jury’s indictment came last week.

Caron was charged with aggravated sexual assault, as well as sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey H. Sutherland revealed.

The charges could carry potential penalties of over 30 years.

The prosecutor’s office did not say anything about the child in its press releases.

Sutherland said: “These allegations are deeply disturbing, particularly given the position of trust the defendant held in relation to the victim.

“Our office remains committed to protecting the most vulnerable members of our community and will continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute those who violate that trust.”

Caron is being held at the Cape May County Correctional Facility without bond until her first court appearance, court documents show.
