An elementary school teacher from New Jersey is suspected of having a child with a former student, who was 13 years old at the time and had been living with her for a few years. The situation came to light when the father of the teenager noticed a resemblance between his son and the child in a social media post.

Laura Caron, who taught fifth grade, is accused of engaging in sexual activity with her former student while they shared a home from 2016 to 2020. These details were disclosed by the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office on Wednesday.

Caron, 34, first met her victim when she taught him and his brother fifth grade at Middle Township Elementary School in southern New Jersey.


Laura Caron was arrested charged with Aggravated Sexual Assault, Sexual Assault, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child on Jan. 15, 2025.

The boy, who was born in 2005, and his family had maintained a close relationship with the teacher even after he had finished her class. The parents permitted their sons and daughter to spend the night at Caron’s residence a few times a week, according to ABC6.

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

During that time, Caron allegedly had “inappropriate sexual relations” with her former pupil and later became pregnant.

She gave birth to the child in 2019.

The student’s father pointed out the uncanny similarity between Caron’s child, himself, and his son on a Facebook post in Dec. 2024.

The boy’s sister told prosecutors that she remembered going to sleep with her brother in the same room, but woke up to find him sleeping in Caron’s bed, the outlet reported.

The unidentified girl claimed Caron began sleeping with her brother when he was 11 years old.

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

The unidentified teen victim, who is now between 19- and 20-years-old, revealed to investigators the sexual relationship with Caron and that he fathered his former teacher’s child.

The two had remained in contact until his father made the December Facebook post.

Police arrested Caron at her home on Wednesday and charged her with Aggravated Sexual Assault, Sexual Assault, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child.

She is being held at the Cape May County Correctional Facility without bond until her initial court appearance, according to the prosecutors and court records viewed by The Post.

“This arrest underscores the unwavering commitment of our office and law enforcement partners to protect the children in our community,” Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffery Sutherland said.

“Teachers hold a position of great trust, and the allegations in this case represent a deeply troubling breach of that trust. We will work tirelessly to ensure justice is served and to support the victim and their family throughout this process.”

The Middle Township School District placed Caron on paid administrative leave, CBS Philadelphia reported.

The school district is said to be cooperating with investigators, the prosecutors’ office said.
