Summary
Former Tennessee Teacher Alissa McCommon, charged with raping a male student, says she's pregnant.
This case gained attention after the boy's parents met with police, reporting the child had been sex assaulted by McCommon. The boy says he was 12 years old and in the seventh grade at the time of the assault, which reportedly happened in the McCommon home during a sleepover. He says sometime in the night the teacher woke him and sexually assaulted him.
Multiple juveniles have now come forward claiming McCommon played video games online, befriending them. The contact progressed to communicating through social media apps where the teacher sent inappropriate photos and asked for sex according to police.
After being released on bond McCommon, a 38-year-old woman was rearrested while out on bond after police said she made contact with a victim through SnapChat.
A police-recorded conversation was entered into evidence in which McCommon tells the teen she is pregnant.
