TV camera crew chases alleged sex offender teacher through the streets: KHOU reports on the run
In a story all too familiar in recent months, 29-year-old Alief ISD English teacher Kelly Ann Garcia has been accused of carrying on a months-long sexual relationship with a 16-year-old female student at Hastings High School.
Court documents released on Thursday includes all of the sordid details of the affair, which involved coffee meetings, passionate kisses, a visit to an adult store for sex toys and repeated sexual encounters that began in earnest over spring break this year.
Garcia was charged with indecency with a child and sexual assault of a child, and posted a $60,000 bond late Thursday with orders to stay away from the child. When a KHOU Ch. 11 crew tried to question the accused former teacher outside of the jail, Garcia bolted.
And reporter Drew Karedes — and the camera man — ran right after her too. The chase took place through downtown Houston streets. The KHOU crew eventually cornered the teacher blocks later.
