A Mandurah teacher charged with the "persistent sexual abuse" of a student has given birth to a baby allegedly fathered by the teenage boy.
The West Australian reports, Naomi Tekea Craig recently gave birth and DNA testing from a sample of the placenta found a link between the newborn and the alleged victim.
The 33-year-old was charged earlier this month with two counts of sexual penetration of a child over 13 and under 16, persistent sexual conduct with a child under 16 and a possessing child exploitation material.
The charges relate to offences which allegedly took place between 2024 and 2025 while she was a teacher at a private school in Mandurah and he was a student.
The alleged victim no longer attends the school and Ms Craig has been suspended pending the outcome of the police investigation.
She is due to appear in the Mandurah Magistrates Court on January 27 via audio link.
On Wednesday, police confirmed they will lay a further three charges against Ms Craig which include sexually penetrating a child of or over 13 and under 16, indecently dealing with a child over 13 and under 16 and indecently dealing with a child under 13.
