Louisiana Teacher Had Sex w/ Male Student w/ Her Child Present: Report

It happened again, this time in Zachary, Louisiana.

Zachary, Louisiana teacher has been accused of sex with a 15-year-old middle school student at her home while her own child was nearby, according to police.

Ellarea Silva, age 34, turned herself in on Thursday, two days after Zachary police issued a warrant for her arrest.

Silva has been charged with one count of felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile, one count of indecent behavior with a juvenile, and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.

Bail has been set at $225,000 and Northwestern Middle School has placed Silva on administrative leave.

Silva had sex with a 15-year-old boy eight to nine times last summer, according to police.

The suspect "asked the victim not to disclose [it] due to how his disclosure would affect her career and her family," according to the arrest report.

A Zachary Police spokesperson said, "Detectives are requesting that parents of students who may have had contact with Silva talk to their children about their interactions with her and contact ZPD detectives at 225-654-9393 if they believe their child was victimized."

Police believe the inappropriate relationship began after Silva emailed the student on his school account and exchanged personal contact information "so the school could not track their emails."

Police claim Silva exchanged nude photographs and videos of herself wtih the boy and indicated that she wanted to have a sexual relationship with him. Silva is also accused of giving the boy a THC-infused e-cigarette vaping device, according to the arrest report.
