New Orleans Teacher Charged Over Alleged Relationship With Student at All-Girls Catholic School

A magistrate denied a restraining order as the case proceeds under a Louisiana law barring educator–student sexual contact for ages 17 to 20.

Overview

  • Police arrested Teddi Page, 29, on a count of sex between an educator and a student, and she was released on a $15,000 bond, according to jail and court records.
  • Court coverage says prosecutors sought a restraining order, which a magistrate rejected after noting the student is 18 and the relationship was described as consensual.
  • A police affidavit alleges the relationship began after classroom introductions in August when the student was 17, with intimate conversations followed by sexual encounters in November at Page’s apartment and in the student’s vehicle.
  • The student’s mother reported discovering explicit texts and images via access to her daughter’s social media on an old phone, which prompted the school to alert police.
  • The Academy of the Sacred Heart says it terminated Page, escorted her off campus, and is supporting the student and family, while a purported relative on social media disputes the allegations.
