An elementary school teacher from San Antonio, Texas, finds herself facing serious charges as she has been arrested on accusations of continuous sexual assault of a child.
In a Facebook post made on Tuesday, officials disclosed that 46-year-old Cecilia Mueller was apprehended the previous day following an investigation into the allegations.
Law enforcement officials have expressed concerns that there might be more victims involved. They are actively encouraging anyone with pertinent information to step forward.
The arrest report details that a 20-year-old man approached the authorities, revealing that he was a student in Mueller’s fifth-grade class at Lewis Elementary School during the 2016-17 academic year.

Throughout the year, he became one of her “favorites” and engaged in conversations about crushes and other inappropriate topics. Members of that group would sometimes eat lunch with her in a classroom, where he alleged she showed them explicit music videos and, on one occasion, a pornographic video, and played truth or dare, at times daring students to kiss each other.
He also said she instructed the students not to tell their parents, warning she could get into serious trouble.
The unnamed victim alleged his former teacher also kissed him in a closet in her classroom and engaged in other sexual acts. He said the abuse ended after the school year, when she reportedly told him not to tell anyone about what they did and to contact her when he turned 18, adding that it would “ruin him,” according to the arrest report.
Mueller worked in the Northside Independent School District (NISD), teaching at Lewis Elementary School until June 2019 before transferring to Henderson Elementary School in August 2019, where she has taught since.
