A married teacher in Nevada kissed a teen student on Halloween just before her husband returned to their home, according to an arrest report.
The report, which was obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, details the alleged relationship between Breanna Hernandez — a 27-year-old teacher at Basic Academy of International Studies in Henderson — and a teen who told police he walked to her home on Oct. 31 before getting physical.
Once there, the teen — whose age wasn’t specified in the arrest report — told police he kissed Hernandez on her patio before her husband came home, according to the arrest report.
The teen also told police that he touched Hernandez’s backside during the 20-minute visit, KLAS reports.
“And that was it,” he told investigators.
Hernandez’s husband then shook the teen’s hand when he arrived home before heading inside. The teen then gave Hernandez a hug before leaving, according to the station.
Four days later, Hernandez picked the teen up and drove him back to her house, where they kissed again after taking precautions to not be seen, he told police.
“I went through the back door again, we sat down on the couch, she started to look for something to watch, she laid on my lap, we watched TV and kissed,” the teen told police.
The student began talking to Hernandez on an unspecific app in September, initially about “school stuff,” he told police. But the conversation quickly turned extracurricular, with the teen complimenting Hernandez on her looks and figure. Hernandez, in turn, told the teen he was handsome, he told police.
Another student at the school then reported finding messages between Hernandez and the male student on her phone on Nov. 7 after lending the teacher her device. Hernandez failed to log out of the device, which she used to log into the male student’s account, according to the arrest report.
A search warrant was later obtained for Hernandez’s phone, leading to the discovery of suggestive messages between her and the teen. In one exchange, Hernandez asked the teen if he could hang with his friends that day, prompting him to say that he had.
“You still gonna jump the wall lol,” Hernandez replied.
“Do you want me to lol,” the teen wrote.
“Yeah lol I can pick up you just gotta jump the wall to get in and leave so it doesn’t go on the camera,” the teacher replied.
The teen later told police that the message referred to a wall in Hernandez’s back yard, where he was told to enter as to avoid the doorbell camera installed in front of her home, the Review-Journal reports.
But Hernandez expressed her desire to end the relationship in early November, after giving the teen daily rides home for nearly two weeks, he told police.
“We both knew that we have to, but I didn’t really want to, and she said she didn’t really want to, but we knew we had to,” the teen said.
Messages seeking comment from school district officials and Hernandez’s attorney, Richard Tanasi, were not immediately returned Thursday.
Clark County School District police announced Hernandez’s arrest Monday on charges of two counts each of first-degree kidnapping, lewdness with a minor and luring a minor. After being hired by the district in 2015, she had been reassigned to work from home since the start of the criminal probe in November, police said.
Tanasi told the Review-Journal that Hernandez has since been placed on administrative leave by the district. A judge ordered her to avoid contacting the teen or his family during a court appearance Tuesday, the newspaper reported.
