Bexar County Sheriff's Office
Amanda Sotelo, 35.
Amanda Sotelo, a resident of Von Ormy, was booked into a Bexar County jail on Nov. 1 on a charge of indecency with a child, Louis J. Antu, spokesman with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, told NBC News. Bond was set at $75,000.
School district officials learned of the allegations Oct. 31 after the boy's mother alerted them of the relationship, Anne Marie Espinoza, spokeswoman for the Southwest Independent School District in San Antonio, told KSAT-TV.
Sotelo stated that the relationship developed over time. She and the victim were both going through problems and confided in each other. It wasn’t until the end of this last school year that they began having a sexual relationship, ‘like grown-ups’ … She further admitted that she and the victim had sex about once a week. Sotelo further stated that she found out she is pregnant when she went to the emergency room the first week of September.
Sotelo further stated she loves the victim and he loves her.
"She's in jail but that's about the only thing we've heard. We've got a lot of family problems going on right now," Johnny Lopez, Sotelo’s son-in-law, told KSAT.com.
Lopez said Sotelo is married, and her husband was out of town. They have other children.
Espinoza confirmed that Sotelo had worked as a substitute in several of the district’s schools, and possibly, substituted at least once in the boy’s classroom, KSAT.com reported.
Esponiza told NBC News district officials refused to further comment.

What is wrong with people these days?! WHY is it that we see this crap on a regular basis...?
Yes, there a bunch of 'hotties' in high schools, but they are CHILDREN!!!! They are also someone's SON or DAUGHTER.
What happened to common decency, morals, SELF CONTROL, etc?
I wonder what the people that do this would think/feel if the CHILD was theirs...
I suggest that starting NOW, school systems, when hiring, make the requirement of a PSYCH TEST along with the background check.
WHAT??!! They both confided in eachother?! They had sex once a week?! What is WRONG with this picture.
She is obvioulsy MENTAL. She completely manipulated this young boy. HOW SICK!!! She should be horse whipped. AND Sorry to say or even THINK this, but, the unborn-child should immediately go up for adoption. She has lost her mind.
not mental emmy..sorry..caculating and well knowing what she wanted to do!
Emmy, just as a "for what it is worth"...she is a bit mental, but she didn't hurt that boy.
Buffaloes - You mean it is a good thing for a 14 year old boy to be having a baby? Give us all strength! That poor unborn baby!
Quite simply, he isn't having a baby. She is...and I doubt she will be able to keep it. Later in life, if he is a decent sort, he may feel bad about it. But for now, I am just not so sure he could be that sensitive.
i have to say i love it...more and more women are showing that they are not the gender that "can not do no wrong", "they are not capable of doing heinous crimes" i hope the day comes real quickly that the laws chance and do not favor women in the criminal Justice and family court systems anymore and they are treated as equals and get the book thrown at them
Agree. I would throw the book on this DOG.
Me, myself: You are calling this a Heinous crime? Give me a break. In my own opinion she should be charged with Stupidity and nothing else. The kid isn't the one that is Pregnant is he???
Tarzan - A 14 year old with a baby is a heinous crime in itself!
WOW tarzan..molesting a child is NOT heinous crime? the stupidity is you advocating or even insinuating there is nothing wrong with this..and my comment was that society has the wrong impression that women can not do crimes like this that they are not capable...well there are capable and more and more it is showing. and since feminists cry fowl that women are not treated as equals well...lets do that..across the board including the criminal justice and family courts
Thank you Taliban Interested observer. We are not living 2000 years ago. My husband and I want to make sure you stay away from any of my kids. Our kids need to go to College. They have very dim futures without it. The female dog had no right to seduce the 14 year old. She did because 14 years olds are easily manipulated. Why do you think they are not allowed to drive or vote?
I think of all the times that I FURIOUSLY masturbated to the mental image of my sexy English teacher... Oh GOD!!! If I could have only had sex with her!!!! Why didn't this happen to me???
(Cassandra isn't my real name)
Sounds like you haven't grown at all since that experience Cassandra!
Several inches more, in fact...
That's supposed to be funny? What are you 15 now?
Are you people kidding me? This is every 14 year olds dream to have sex! Either that or me and my friends were a bunch of 14 year old pervs!
In case you haven't realized this, there are many times where fantasy and reality should not meet!
Obama's Obama Care death squad will kill the baby to help hold the cost down.
Sex is not love, but a great stress reliever,and it feels so good. But a 37 year old woman and 14 year old kid,must not take much to please her but I guess it's better then her finger. The Spanish invaded mexico and killed all the mayans, now the spanish are invading America for another take over. Mexicans are Aztec's and Mayans not spanish. Like white people did not steal blacks Spain and Britian did and black tribe chief's sold their own in to slavery,whites bought them from the spainesh.
Whoa! Put the bottle down, Merlin!
HUH? Please proofread your post. I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make.
This woman is 35 years old and a teacher and she doesn't know how to use birth control? Stupid slut.
Seems suspiciously like pedophilia to me.......
How did this woman become a Teacher?? It takes intelligence to be a teacher and some common sense doesn't hurt either, but this teacher is Totally Stupid and Lacking any common sense at all. This woman couldn't find a guy her own age? What the hell is wrong with teachers of today?
"these teachers of today..." so you're making the leap that she is representative of all teachers today?
There are "Teacher" stories popping up pretty damned regular these days and related to this kind of situation. In my day there was none of this kind of thing going on. None, Nada, Zip, Zero.
these situations are still very rare but they're more likely to be known today than they were years ago.
This story proves that 14 year old boys will nail anything that slows down enough to mount.
C'mon she a teacher... she was teaching him about the birds n bees - right of passage. Where were these teachers when I was in school.
How OLD is this female???? A child gets an adult female pregnant........heard it all now!!!!
...must be a stauch REPUBLICAN. Way to go birth ALOHA!!!!!
Damn she's ugly. No 14 year old is that hard up.
Personally, I will never understand this type of thing. I just don't know how to get there. What I do know is that rape isn't a possible charge when you consider the fact that the boy was willing. Consent is a sticky word when in court when either sex is offended.
I guess they haven't much choice. It is "statuatory"...which says that he didn't have the capability to consent. I don't think it hurt the boy. It hurt her. This is one area of the law where I think that women and men might really deserve different treatment.
This makes me think back to that one Adam Sandler movie where his child character (in the beginning of the film) has sex and impregnates one of his school teachers; she gets punished and his child character gets the praise. Not saying that's what happened here but that's just what it reminds me of is all and who wouldn't bet that little Louis J. Antu isn't mentally scarred by this but, "Hey you guys I had sex with our substitute Teacher. Isn't that cool?" I mean it wouldn't surprise me if this typical mind set turns out to be true.
Then what? I mean just because he's a kid doesn't mean he doesn't know right from wrong and even still the adult shouldn't have let this happen. It's disgusting all around. People, no matter the ethnical background, gender, age, or job position, are getting worse day-by-day. Life isn't about screwing your brains out!
That is one nasty looking skank. No wonder she couldn't get a guy her age...
Read the article! She is married! That's how she has a "son-in-law".
Read the article, a son-in-law means she has a daughter old enough to be married. Which means she has either been a skank for a long time OR her daughter who is 18 or less is already married, and probably adding to the population of Texas as well! TRASH!
Her husband was out of town
Like thre rest of female sex abusers she'll probably get a one year probation. The double standard of sentencing between men and women who crate this type of crime is appalling.
Is this a classic case of life imitating art? I mean.. I just saw something like this on a movie called "That's my Boy"... I will add that in referring to this movie; I use the term "art" loosely.
It'll be the same sexist crap as usual ... guy does it --- life in prison and on predator list and people calling out to "hang the perv" or cut off his **** Woman does it and she has problems and the boy isn't too damaged and she gets 1-3 years probation and "help" ....
Just realized after posting that the guy 2 above me said the same thing ... it's sad that it's so obvious
Stop with your nonsense! These women are going to jail too!
They should but unfortunately that's not generally the case. Look about 5 or 6 up -- to Bufaloes roam and you'll see the type of attitude why - somehow the bleeding heart liberals believe it's ok and doesn't hurt boys ... It should be fair and equal but you comments is unfortunately the "non"sense
What 35 year old confides in a 14 year old?!
A lonely one....for sure.
Lonely and low IQ!
Too late in this case, but she should know that they're called Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Social Workers. 8 (
Oh Boy!
Like my drain pipe cleaner plumber says sh!t happens.
Where were these teachers when I was in grade school!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucky for you - you didn't meet a predator pedophile.
