Bucks Native Accused Of Having Student's Baby To Go Before Grand Jury

MIDDLE TWP., NJ — The case of the South Jersey teacher and Bucks County native accused of sexually assaulting her young student and having his child was referred to a grand jury, court records show.

Laura Caron, 34, was scheduled for a pre-indictment conference on Feb. 25. That won't be held as Caron's case has been referred to a grand jury, according to court records.

Caron, a resident of Cape May Court House, NJ and native of Warrington, is charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

Those charges stem from a period of four years where Caron lived with her former student and sexually assaulted him repeatedly, giving birth to his child, according to officials.

The fifth grade teacher in the Middle Township School District gave birth to the then 13-year-old's child in 2019 when she was 28, according to the arrest affidavit obtained by Patch.

Caron was the boy's and his brother's fifth grade teacher, authorities said. His mother became close with Caron and began to let them spend the night at her house when Caron offered to watch the children - starting at one or two times a week, which turned into the boys and their sister living permanently at Caron's home from 2016 to 2020, according to the documents. This is the time period that prosecutors allege Caron was assaulting the child. Read more: Bucks Native, Teacher Impregnated By 13-Year-Old Student: NJ Officials
