Teacher Suspended After Student Reports Sexual Encounter
  • INDIANAPOLIS -- A high school teacher was arrested and suspended after allegations of sex with a student surfaced this week.

    A 15-year-old male student at The Renaissance School in Warren Township told police that he had sex with Sheila Vazquez during a "lunch" outing during school hours, police said.

    The incident is alleged to have happened on May 1 following several months of conversation that included sexual innuendo, the student told police.

    According to a police report, the student indicated that the conversations began innocently in February when he told her that he was bored in school.

    The student told police that Vazquez responded that she had something that would keep him busy.

    As the conversations continued over the ensuing months, according to the student, he and Vazquez met in a classroom after school on several occasions to kiss and embrace.

    The student told police that Vazquez arranged to take him to lunch during school because he was working hard in class.

    Police said the student told them that he and Vazquez went to her home and had sex during the encounter and that she brought him back to school afterward.

    Vazquez faces four counts of child molestation.
