She Met Him On The Playground

Teacher's Aide Pleads Guilty to Sexual Conduct with Minor

A teacher's aide has plead guilty to attempted sexual conduct with a minor.

Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas says that 27-year-old Alma Hernandez met her 14-year-old male victim on the playground at Andalucia Middle School, then had sex with the boy in her car last year.

Police were called after the victim's family found out.

As part of a plea agreement, Hernandez will be sentenced to at least 10 years in prison on July 25.

Hernandez was a teacher's assistant at the school at 47th Avenue and Campbell, but the boy was not one of her students.
