31-year-old Stephanie Ann Stein resigned from her teaching position this past June at Plymouth Christian Academy in Canton, Michigan.

She befriended a 15-year-old student last year and was continuing to see him during this past summer break. She would stop by the boy's home and tell his mother that she wanted to "help him with his computer".

The teen's mother saw some text messages from Stein that were sent to her son. The messages were sexually explicit and caused the mother to become very suspicious of this former teacher and the "help" she was offering to the teenager.

"Stein has been charged with two counts of criminal sexual conduct, third degree, one count of using the Internet to communicate with a minor to commit a crime, a four-year felony; and one count of distributing obscene material of a sexual nature to a minor, a two-year felony."

Police reported that Stein allegedly had sex with the boy in her own home at least once. She also left her own two small children at home, under the age of five, when she would meet with the teenager boy.

Canton Sgt. Rick Pomorski stated, "She said that she knew it was wrong and she would have to end it, and she did end it eventually."

She is out of jail now on a $50,000 bond and has been warned to not contact the victim in any way. On September 28 she is scheduled for a preliminary examination.
