DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. (Gray News) - A special education teacher is accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy at school during a tutoring session.

According to the Downers Grove Police Department, Christina Formella, 30, sexually assaulted the boy in a classroom at Downers Grove South High School during a tutoring session before school in December 2023. Formella worked there as a special education teacher and soccer coach.

The boy’s mother discovered the alleged sexual assault when she looked through a text message thread on her son’s phone and reported it to police on March 15.

Formella was taken into custody after a traffic stop on March 16. Her husband was with her when she was arrested.

“The allegations against Ms. Formella are extremely disturbing,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said. “It is alleged that she used her position of trust and authority as a tutor and a coach to sexually assault a minor student. The type of abuse and behavior alleged in this case will not be tolerated.

According to People, court documents show several explicit text messages between Formella and the student that discuss the details of the sexual abuse. She also allegedly wrote about the boy on her phone’s Notes app.

Formella, who is on paid leave from the school, is charged with two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse and criminal sexual assault.

Apparently, the standard for not guilty on this forum is that her eyes are not crossed. This woman is not even remotely hot.

Its rape. Call it rape.

Lesbians have thru the Minnesota Protocols made it so “rape” requires penetration, therefore making it almost impossible for women to be charged with rape. They did this on purpose so that they could make the false claim that only men can rape. Well if you narrow the definition down the way they did for this very deceitful purpose...

Its both sexual assault and also rape.

This woman is a whore; only simps will excuse/celebrate this shallow vapid creature you admire based on her looks and narcissistic under-structure that hits the wall and becomes a nuisance when her looks fade. Simping leads to erosion of civilization.

So the more we excuse fornication, adultery and promote a gynocentric culture, the more our civilization crumbles. Happens a lot yet we still don't learn. Who is the gateway of society? Yet we abuse that nururing for empty pleasure.

Jesus is the Truth to God,’s ways regardless of what anyone thinks. Jesus forgives but only if repentance is shown.

So this kid will just expect any female to put out based on this female conditioning him?

No wonder our society is f’ed up. I guess the only purpose in life is to get your genitals/Dopamine rush stimulated at will.

Idiots.
