After confessing to having sex with a pupil in a classroom closet, a special education inclusion support teacher pled guilty to charges of sexual assault of a minor and improper contact between an educator and student.

In August 2021, Emily Anderson, 35, was detained and accused of sexually assaulting a minor, a second-degree felony. In December 2021, she was detained once more and accused of having inappropriate contact between a teacher and a pupil.

Records show that Anderson acknowledged having intercourse with the victim at Canyon High School in New Braunfels in a closet in a biology class.

After Anderson admitted guilt, the judge in the case gave the victim’s mother the opportunity to speak.

The victim’s mother talked about “the pain she feels seeing her son suffer from depression and anxiety. She said that an ‘ideal punishment’ would be for Anderson to see her own children endure that pain.”

The mother initially contacted the New Braunfels police after discovering graphic texts on her son’s phone that were positively identified as coming from Anderson.

The texts contained information on a sexual encounter Anderson had with the victim in May of that year, according to the police affidavit from Anderson’s initial arrest in August 2021.

The mother testified in court, “When I saw those messages — when I went through that phone, my (instinct) was to go and get you out of that school and deal with you myself”

Anderson was placed on leave after her first arrest and Canyon High School Principal Dustin Davisson sent a letter to parents saying, “I know that it can be quite disturbing to learn that one of our teachers was charged with a crime such as this.”
