Katherine Ruth Harper Arrested for having sex with student

A married middle-school English teacher and cheerleading coach is accused of having sex multiple times with an 15-year-old student and is now pregnant. Katherine Ruth Harper, 27, was arrested last week and charged with having an improper relationship with a student in Trophy Club, Texas, a wealthy suburb northwest of Dallas. The arrest warrant claims the boy was questioned by his principal and confessed to the sexual encounters, according to the Houston Chronicle.

“One thing led to another and she told me to ‘put it in’ and I did,” the boy said, according to the warrant. The meetings also allegedly included drinking alcohol and the teenager performing oral sex on Harper. She is 8 months pregnant but it is not yet clear if the student is the baby’s father, according to Fox News. Authorities were notified by an anonymous tip and Harper has been placed on administrative leave. Harper was arrested and later released from Denton County Jail. She has been charged with having an improper relationship with a student – a second-degree felony
