TEACHER FACING ALLEGED STUDENT SEX ABUSE  CLAIMS HUSBAND KNEW STUDENT WAS STALKER

TEACHER FACING ALLEGED STUDENT SEX ABUSE CLAIMS HUSBAND KNEW STUDENT WAS STALKER

Christina Formella, accussed of molesting a 15-year-old student claims the boy was a “stalker” and that new her husband knew. Her husband, however, says he was totally in the dark about the boy.

The case unfolded after a Downers Grove, Illinois, mom comes across disturbing text messages while setting up her 15-year-old son’s new iPhone using a backup from his iCloud account.

The contents prompt her to take her son straight to the police. It appears the teen is discussing a sexual encounter with a love interest—his married, 30-year-old teacher, Christina Formella.

The student informs the police that Coach Formella began sending him flirty messages on the school’s chat system after she became his tutor in the fall of 2023. He explains that their conversations shifted to text after the teacher provided him with her phone number so they could play a game together.

Records show numerous FaceTime calls between the two, with the victim stating that their relationship outside of school culminated in a rape in December.

Formella denies raping the boy or having a romantic relationship with him, asserting that she is a “good person” and that “everybody” comes after her because of her looks. She admits to developing a close relationship with the student and claims that she “cares too much about him,” but simultaneously labels him a stalker.

Formella insists she did not send the texts, arguing that her kindness towards the boy allowed him to break into her unattended phone, send the texts to himself, and then delete them from her phone to later use as blackmail.

WHY MISSING EMMANUEL WILL "NEVER BE FOUND"

WHY MISSING EMMANUEL WILL "NEVER BE FOUND"

A mother and father both arrested Friday, August 22 from their Cabazon, California home and booked in the Riverside County jail without bail. Father Jake Haro, 32 and Mother Rebecca Haro, 41, are charged with murder and making a false report in the disappearance of their 7-month-old son Emmanuel Haro. Baby Emmanuel was reported missing Thursday, August 14 around 7:47pm and was last seen wearing a black Nike onesie. Jake Haro has a public defender who enters a "not guilty" plea for him at the arraignment and Rebecca Haro's court appointed private counsel, Jeff Moore, enters a plea of 'Not Guilty" for her as well. Moore, from the firm Blumenthal and Moore, previously represented Louise and David Turpin - well publicized and high-profile trial for the parents who were sentenced to life in prison for abusing their 13 children. Moore gained attention as the attorney for the Turpin parents accused of abusing, starving, imprisoning and hiding their 13 kids from society by stripping away their rights to learn to read, write, eat, and speak. The Publics outrage was well documented for the horrific living conditions those innocent Turpin children endured for years, some never even allowed to leave the home. After years in captivity, bravery took a hold, giving courage to escape the home and run for help. Jake and Rebecca Haro, were brought in separate doors through opposite sides of the courtroom. The couple did not appear to look at each other, Jake Haro kept his eyes on the judge and Rebecca Haro was kept out of direct view by her private attorney appointed by the court. After less than 10 minutes of the hearing, the Haro's were taken back to their jail cells where they will sit until September 16 for their "Felony Settlement Conference", commonly called the "pre-trial hearing". Jake and Rebecca Haro' s arraignment is not being streamed but cameras are in the courtroom. If you have any information or have seen baby Emmanuel Haro, please call 911 or your local sheriff's office. Direct telephone numbers are listed on graphics during the video show.
