Summary
Laura Caron, a New Jersey elementary school teacher, faces multiple sexual assault charges for grooming and abusing a 13-year-old student.
The allegations claim Caron, who befriended the student’s mother, molested the boy from age 11 to 16, including conceiving and giving birth to his child in 2019.
The case came to light after the victim’s father posted about the uncanny resemblance between Caron’s son and his own.
No, action does not make someone a pedophile. An adult sleeping with an assumed adult to learn they are 17 is not a pedophile. It is potentially statutory rape, though, depending on circumstances.
Sexual attraction to children, e.g. this woman, is a pedophile.
