A former teacher at Lewisville ISD, identified as Alainee Simonson, 29, of Grapevine, has been charged with sexual assault of a child and having an improper relationship with a student, as per the Grapevine Police Department. The arrest took place last Friday, and details emerged that the alleged crimes occurred during her tenure between 2022 and 2023. Simonson, who taught at Killough High School, is at the center of these grave allegations involving an underage student at the said institution, as FOX4 News reported.

The matter became public following Simonson's recent arrest, after which Tarrant County court records indicated she was released on a $25,000 bond. According to the investigative reports, no evidence points to additional victims, but the investigation continues, with Grapevine Police working closely with school officials. In light of these disturbing events, any parent concerned their child may have been targeted is urged to contact law enforcement, as detailed by CBS News Texas.

Lewisville ISD has released a statement regarding the incident, mentioning that concerning behavior by the teacher had previously been reported and investigated by both the district and Child Protective Services. However, they could not substantiate the allegations of an inappropriate relationship at that time. The district's statement, which came through after initial reports of the incident, highlighted the procedural response: the teacher was placed on administrative leave once reports surfaced before resigning in February 2023. This personnel decision followed a short stint at Killough High School, beginning in August 2022.
