NEW: Teenager who got his teacher pregnant when he was 13, claims he was the one who instigated the relationship & is calling for her charges to be dropped.
New Jersey teacher Laura Caron was arrested for r*ping a male child for years, allegedly starting around the time the boy was 11.
The relationship began when Caron was about 26 years old and allegedly went on for at least four years.
"They need to drop all charges. I wasn't groomed or r*ped or manipulated by her. She never initiated anything. I started everything," he said to the Daily Mail.
"This stuff is so deep. Like the world has no idea what she has done for my family. I love her with all my heart. She was there for me and my family."
Back in December, the victim's father noticed that the child looked like him and his son, raising concerns.
Caron had taught the victim and his brother when they were in 5th grade.
"Over the years, the parents of the victim said the family became friends with Caron, which ultimately led to them even allowing their boys and daughter to stay at Caron’s home at times," ABC 6 reported.
The children eventually stayed with Caron permanently from 2016 to 2020, according to reports.
The victim’s sister says her brother was about 11 years old when he started sleeping in the same bed as Caron.
The teacher would reportedly go into the bathroom while the victim was showering, lock the door, and r*pe him while the other siblings slept.
Caron is currently awaiting trial and faces 10 years in prison.
