Padilla allegedly admitted to having the relationship with the teenager after she let him stay at her home and gave him clothing and food, saying she and the student developed feelings for one another over time.
The educator reportedly confessed to police that she and the student had sexual relations about 15 to 20 times over the year -- including at a town’s public park.
Authorities reportedly discovered the relationship after Padilla’s daughters taped a conversation they had with the teenager who cautioned them not to go to the police and tell them of the relationship. The student also reportedly told the girls that he loved their mother.
Police said the student confessed he and Padilla had sexual relations.
