Detention of teacher who seduced 15-year-old schoolboy

The police in the US state of Illinois have published a video of the arrest of a 30-year-old teacher who had an intimate relationship with a 15-year-old student.

30-year-old Christina Formella was arrested after a document check on the road. It turned out that the woman was wanted for sexual relations with a student. Formella worked at a high school in the city of Downers Grove and was a football coach. The investigation found that she got close to the student and seduced him.

The investigation began after the mother of one of the young football players discovered explicit correspondence between her son and the teacher. According to the investigation, in December 2023, the teacher seduced the student in class.

During interrogation, she stated that she did not commit a crime. She also said that everyone was against her because she was "too beautiful and cared too much about the student." The video provided by the police captured the moment of Formella's arrest on March 16.

In the first part of the recording, the patrolman spoke to the teacher in front of the car and asked her to take her mobile phone and purse. In the car, in addition to the woman, there was a man. Then Formella was handcuffed. Then there is footage from the police car, in which the teacher asked if her husband could accompany her, and then asked: "Am I in some kind of trouble?" At the end of the video, the woman is crying, saying that she is going to throw up.

After her arrest, Formella was released on bail until her first court hearing, which will take place in April. She faces three charges of sexual assault.
