Two women face justice in Waco for sexual assault of youths

Story here. Excerpt:

'A former Brazos Middle School teacher pleaded guilty Monday to 10 counts of sexual assault of a child and is asking a judge to place her on deferred probation.

The case was one of two in a Waco courtroom Monday involving women committing sexual offenses with youths.

McLennan County prosecutor Melanie Walker recommended that Tara Allison Hodges, 27, be sentenced to 10 years in prison on each of the 10 counts of improper sexual contact with a 14-year-old male Brazos Middle School student and told 19th State District Judge Ralph Strother that she would oppose Hodges’ request for deferred probation.

Hodges had a two-month sexual relationship with the boy in 2008, officials have said. She also smoked marijuana with the boy, bought him shoes, gave him money and sent him explicit cell phone photos of herself, according to records filed in the case.

Hodges’ attorney, Russ Hunt, said Hodges has surrendered her teacher certification and will never teach again. He said she must register as a sex offender for the rest of her life and has moved to El Campo, Texas, to live with her parents.'
