Texas teacher Heather Lynn Miller caught in sexual act with 14-year-old student
Another teacher has been arrested and faces felony charges when she was caught in the act with the student.
Heather Lynn Miller, 47, was caught in a portable classroom trailer with an underage student by a campus security guard at Katy Junior H.S. during a routine patrol. Miller was allegedly “engaging in an inappropriate relationship” with the student, according to a statement released by the Katy Independent School District.
KPRC reports that Miller answered the door to the temporary classroom, telling the guard “everything was fine.” Suspicious, the guard looked past her to see a a 14-year-old student getting dressed.
Katy ISD officials said Miller, a social studies teacher, has been removed from the classroom and placed on administrative leave, pending a full investigation.
“The district takes this allegation very seriously and is fully cooperating with prosecutors,” Katy ISD wrote in a letter sent to parents and staff. “Providing a safe and secure learning environment is and will continue to be our top priority, and we will always act swiftly when that is compromised. Likewise, we will continue to do everything we can to ensure the safety of our students.”
The district said parents of students who may have been taught by Miller or interacted with her on a regular basis are being contacted directly by officials.
