Married teacher Jillian Lafave is caught having sex with special ed student, 16, inside a classroom

A special education teacher has been caught having sex with a 16-year-old student inside a classroom, according to police documents.

Married 25-year-old Jillian Lafave was arrested after a hall monitor allegedly caught the two during school hours at Valley High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, News 3 reported.

According to KTNV, the arrest report also stated that Lafave had exchanged more than 13,000 text messages with the student, who had a leaing disability.

Some of the messages were allegedly sexual in nature. 

The police documents stated the student would call his teacher 'mom' while she would refer to him as her son. 

Lafave, however, told the teenager through texts that he should not call her mom when they were talking about sex, the report states. 

Lafave, who was arrested earlier this month, told the police that she had kissed the student and touched his penis, but denied having sex with him.

He had tried touching her genitals, but she pushed him away, according to the arrest report. 

The teenager had posted numerous photographs of himself with Lafave on social media, and told police he loved her when he found out she had been questioned.

Lafave is charged with performing a sex act with a pupil, court records show. She is scheduled to appear in District Court at the end of March and has since been released on bond.

A spokesperson for the Clark Country School District revealed she is currently on paid leave as the investigation continues.

According to KTNV , the arrest report stated that Lafave had exchanged more than 13,000 text messages with the student, who had a leaing disability. Lafave and her student referred to each other as 'mom' and 'son', and some of the texts were sexually charged

Valley High School did not initially notify parents but principal Ramona Esparza sent home a letter yesterday stating the importance of the students' safety. 

The letter referred to 'allegations related to inappropriate conduct' involving a teacher and stated it would cooperate with the CCSD Police Department.

Parent Raquel Martinez told News 3 Las Vegas: 'I think it's really sad because one thinks that their children are secure in school. If those things are happening it makes me worry.' 

Lafave teaches English and special education at the school where her father also works as a physics teacher.

On a teacher network site, he wrote: 'Education is a Sacred Promise. The teacher vows to be the provider of both knowledge and inspiration to students.'

He has worked as a scientist, engineer, CEO, author and teacher.
