Another Texas school district has become embroiled in a student-teacher sex scandal, this time involving a pregnant teacher and cheerleading coach and a 15-year-old student in the suburbs of Dallas-Fort Worth.
According to the Trophy Club Police Department, Katherine Ruth Harper, 27, had an improper relationship with a former student. Harper met the student while at a local middle school as a 7th-grade English teacher, cheerleading coach and tennis coach.
An arrest warrant acquired by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram says that the pair exchanged nude photos and had sex multiple times over the summer break.
The arrest warrant notes that the teacher’s improper relationship, a 2nd degree felony, began when “the two began sending flirty text messages to each other, which eventually led to her going over to his Trophy Club home.”

Harper was held at the Denton County Jail until she posted bail of $15,000.
