WACO - A Federal Grand Jury decided there was enough evidence to send a former WISD teacher to trial.
Tara Hodges,26, has been indicted on 10 counts of sexual assault of a child.
Hodges was charged with sexual assault of a child and improper relationship between an educator and a child. She was a teacher at Brazos Middle School.
The incidents are alleged to have involved a 14-year-old male student. Police contacted her following the investigation that led to the warrants being obtained and she drove to Waco today to turn herself in.
According to the arrest affidavit, Hodges had driven the 14-year old to her apartment on Lake Shore Drive, smoked marijuana and had sex with the minor on at least 10 different occasions. And Hodges had even bought the boy several pair of shoes while giving him money.
The incidents are also alleged to have taken place during two months of the Spring 2008 semester.
