Authorities in Texas arrested a former middle school teacher on Wednesday after she was accused of repeated sexual abuse towards a 13-year old student.
Adriana Mariel Rullan, 27, had sexual intercourse/sexual contact with the boy on 12 occasions, according to the arrest affidavit.
Webb County jail records show the teacher from Gonzalez Middle School was arrested, but was released shortly after her bond was paid.
Rullan had been charged with being involved in an improper relationship between an educator and student. She was also charged with indecency with a child via sexual contact and continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14-years old.
The boy’s parents became suspicious after he suddenly had money coming into his CashApp account.
The boy’s stepfather decided to look through the boys cellphone and found repeated payments from a profile under Rullan’s name. A contact stored in the phone with Rullan’s name and pink hearts next to it was also discovered during the search.
In addition, the school principal had also taken photos of images that Rullan had sent the boy, which included her in a bikini. There were also photos of her in underwear showing off her breasts with hickies, plus other compromising sexual pictures of herself.
The United Independent School District in Texas has not identified Rullan, but said in a statement that it’s aware of an incident involving a former teacher and that the teacher has been placed on leave.
“UISD has learned of the arrest of a former employee for various charges,” the school said in a statement. “UISD promptly followed administrative and legal protocol and collaborated with UISD PD to investigate the serious allegations made against the former employee prior to the arrest. The former employee was also placed on leave once UISD was made aware of the allegations.”
