Teacher, 33, was arrested for raping the 17-year-old after she gave birth to her student's child.

After allegedly giving birth to a kid fathered by one of her students, a 33-year-old female teacher from Louisiana was detained and charged with rape and sexual abuse. The reported incidents occurred roughly two years ago.

A number of warrants for the arrest of Morgan Freche, 33, were issued in Tangipahoa Parish as a result of an investigation, and she was taken into custody on Tuesday, October 3.

According to Sheriff Daniel Edwards, allegations that Freche was carrying the 17-year-old student's child were made on September 24.

Freche withdrew from her position at Lorainger High School in the parish's educational system four days later, keeping her identity a secret.

She brought herself in on Tuesday and was charged with four counts of felony carnal knowledge of a minor in addition to third-degree rape and oral sexual abuse.

After Freche quit last week, Edwards said: "While we cannot reveal specific specifics of the inquiry, we can confirm that the claims were handled with immediately, and the investigation process has been rigorous and thorough."

This kind of study takes time and is being conducted carefully. We won't be hurried to close under any circumstances.

According to the victim's attorney George R. Tucker, the family is glad that Freche has been charged and will now concentrate on getting the youngster into rehabilitation.

Tucker told WSDU News, "We're happy with the types of charges, but we think maybe there should've been more charges since there were more instances."

The charges were not known to the Tangipahoa Parish School Superintendent Melissa Stilley until they had been reported, she stated in a statement.

Morgan Freche, a former teacher in Tangipahoa Parish, was recently arrested, Stilley said.

"Student safety and the proper behavior of school district employees are a priority," the statement reads. "Although personnel and student matters are confidential and the facts of such matters may not be publicized.

Stilley continued that Freche's alleged actions had no place in her educational system.

Both the Board and this office, she continued, "won't allow staff behavior that crosses the line in areas like the right professional relationships between educators and their pupils."

We are fortunate that Tangipahoa Parish's students are taught by qualified teachers, thus claims of this sort are regrettable. Right now, we are helping law enforcement with their investigation into this incident.

Tucker, though, told reporters that the family thought the parish was aware of this but did nothing.

The next step, according to Tucker, is to try to determine why people who knew about this much earlier did not inform the family.

It has come to light that the family was notified twice, the first time by the superintendent's family. Two Loranger employees did it a second time, but it was never reported.
