A preliminary hearing is scheduled Tuesday for Jessica Streeper, a Norristown, Montgomery County, teacher accused of having sex with one of her students.
A middle school teacher who faces more than 30 counts related to an alleged sexual relationship with one of her students is due in court Tuesday.
Jessica Streeper, a 33-year-old teacher in the Norristown School District, is accused of having a sexual relationship and exchanging "sexts" with an 8th grader.
An investigation into the relationship between Streeper and her 14-year-old student began after Norristown Police received an anonymous tip.
Investigators say that the 8th grade Eisenhower Science and Technology Leadership Academy math teacher and her student communicated regularly via text messages and that many of them were sexual in nature.
They also say that Streeper would pick the boy up from his Norristown home and have sex with him in her car as well as inside her Bucks County home.
Norristown School District released this statement in regarding the incident:
"We are deeply saddened and troubled by the allegations and we look froward to the law enforcement authorities following through with their investigation."
Family members tell NBC10 that Streeper is the mother of two young children.
