A teenage boy who got his teacher pregnant when he was just 13-years-old, which is considered as statutory rape on the woman's part, has come out with the shocking claim that he was the one who started the relationship and he wants charges against her dismissed.
Daily Mail reported that Laura Caron, a teacher from New Jersey, in the US, was arrested after allegedly raping the child over several years, beginning at the age of 11. Caron's relationship with the child began when she was 26-years-old and reportedly lasted at least four years.
The teenager's father reportedly blew the case wide open in 2024 when he spotted that the teacher's child had a striking resemblance to him and his son.
"They need to drop all charges. I wasn't groomed or raped or manipulated by her. She never initiated anything. I started everything. This stuff is so deep. Like, the world has no idea what she has done for my family. I love her with all my heart. She was there for me and my family," the boy told Daily Mail.
ABC 6 also reported that the boy's family became close to Caron, thinking nothing of the strange relationship.
"Over the years, the parents of the victim said the family became friends with Caron, which ultimately led to them even allowing their boys and daughter to stay at Caron's home at times," reported the news station.
According to reports, the boy and his other siblings finally moved in permanently with Caron between 2016 and 2020.
The victim's sister claims her brother was around 11-years-old when he began sleeping in the same bed as Caron. She would allegedly go into the bathroom when the victim was bathing, lock the door and allegedly rape him as the other siblings slept. She is currently awaiting trial and faces 10 years in jail.
