A former middle school teacher in Wisconsin has been accused of sexually assaulting her eighth-grade student.
The alleged behavior started when the boy was just 13 years old.
WITI reported that prosecutors claim Tyesha Bolden, 34, also bought the victim a Glock 19 pistol as a birthday gift.
The boy told investigators that his inappropriate communication with Bolden lasted until late July, when the teacher refused to buy him another gun.
Court filings revealed that Bolden and the victim first met at Pilgrim Lutheran School in Wauwatosa last October. This was around the time when Bolden became the victim’s teacher.
Investigators said the two swapped more than 2,200 messages between late May and late July of this year.
In the messages, Bolden concedes that the victim is a minor and she feels guilty. The report noted in that in one message, Bolden says: “I want to see you as often as possible and the rest will just happen.”
Bolden has been charged with second-degree sexual assault of a child and giving a dangerous weapon to a person under 18 years old.
If she is convicted of both felonies, she could face up to 40 years in prison.
