Former Kentucky Substitute Teacher Charged For Raping Her 15-Year-Old Student

A former Kentucky substitute middle school teacher has been arrested and charged for raping a 15-year-old boy who used to be her student.

Alexandria Allen, 25, was arrested Monday on three counts of third-degree rape by Georgetown police. She has been accused of raping an eighth-grade student while she was teaching at Royal Spring Middle School in Scott County.

The abuse came to light in October when the teen's mother discovered the nude pictures and videos of Allen and her son on the boy's cell phone. She then reported it to the police.

According to the mother, Allen was her son's tutor during that time. "I was disgusted because you're supposed to be helping him, and she wasn't helping him at all," she told local news outlet Lex18.

The victim came in contact with Allen "while she was in a position of authority or position of public trust," said arrest warrant obtained by the news outlet. The alleged rape happened on three occasions over a period of six months since last March, including once at the Hilton Garden Inn in Georgetown.

The victim has admitted to the police that he had sexual contact with the teacher. However, Allen's attorney entered a not guilty plea in court Tuesday on her behalf.

"We're pretty confident in the charges that were brought against her," Georgetown Assistant Police Chief Darin Allgood, who confirmed the arrest, told the New York Post. Allgood also said that the investigators are reviewing other evidence and Allen may face additional charges.

Allen is now on a reduced bond of $2,500 and the court has ordered her not to maintain any contact with the victim. She has no prior criminal records and is ordered to appear back in court on Feb. 2 for the preliminary hearing.

She was hired as a substitute teacher in January 2020 and according to a statement from the school, she is now prohibited from working in any of the Scott County schools.

A person can be charged with third-degree rape if the victim is less than 18 years old and the defendant is older than 21. In Kentucky, a third-degree rape charge is considered a class D felony with a sentence of up to 5 years and a fine of up to $10,000.
