HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A Houston Independent School District teacher was charged with two counts of improper relationship with a student after a former pupil of his came forward and revealed they had a sexual relationship, court documents allege.

Jesse Sifuentes, 40, was arrested after he allegedly had sex at least eight times with an 18-year-old student while teaching at High School for Law and Justice, records show.

The student told investigators that she met the teacher during her junior year back in 2022, but that their sexual relationship did not begin until shortly after she turned 18.
