A schoolboy blackmailed his teacher for more than £22,000 by threatening to expose their alleged sexual relationship , it was reported.
Thao Doan, a middle school teacher from Texas, was charged with sexual assault last week.
The boy’s mother raises suspicions about her son’s inappropriate relationship with Doan, a teacher at the Raul Quintanilla Sr. Middle School in Dallas.
The mum claims Doan, 27, gave her son “large amounts of money” and was using it for “illegal purposes”, according to a police affidavit obtained by the Dallas Morning News.
She also reportedly showed school officials screen shots of her son’s text messages demanding money from Doan, the New York Daily News reported.
Doan, who is listed as the school’s cross country coach, allegedly responded telling the boy she didn’t have any.
The boy said in a threatening message to the teacher that he was going to gather photos to show police if she didn’t cough up the money.
Doan eventually confessed to police that she communicated with the student over Instagram and other social media platforms before they had sex at a park in summer 2015.
From there, the pair began having sex between November and December, according to the affidavit.
Last January, Doan told police she received threatening messages from an unknown person and multiple calls from different numbers about drop-off sites for the payments.
Doan was released from prison on bail.
