A teacher in California allegedly had sex with an eighth-grader
while chaperoning his spring class trip to Washington, DC,
authorities said.
Jacqueline Nicole Muller, a 26-year-old teacher at Salem
Lutheran School in Glendale, was arrested Monday on charges of
first-degree child sexual abuse after the encounter with the 14-
year-old male student at a hotel in the nation’s capital on May
9, according to charging documents obtained by WRC-TV.
After connecting on Instagram in March, the boy told police he
and Muller began talking about photography and other mutual
interests before they kissed about a month later, court
documents show.
Muller and the teen allegedly had sex at a Hyatt Place hotel in
southwest Washington, just blocks away from the National Mall.
They also had sex a second time later that day at another hotel
in Virginia, authorities said.
The alleged encounters came to light when the teen’s parents
discovered text messages on his phone, some of which indicated a
relationship well beyond a typical teacher-student bond.
“Hope you slept well my love,” one message read. “Missing you.”
The teen’s parents also learned from other chaperones that their
son had been alone with Muller for about an hour one night
during the trip. The boy later told his father about the secret
meetings, WRC-TV reports.
Five days after the alleged encounter, the teen’s parents met
with school officials, including interim principal Pamela Perry,
who later reported the allegations to child protective services.
Muller subsequently apologized in a letter to Perry, according
to court documents.
“It pains me that my actions have led to this point,” she wrote.
Ali Smyser, president of Salem Lutheran Church, told The Post
that Muller resigned after law enforcement officials were
notified of the allegations.
“Salem Lutheran Church and School takes the safety of our
students very seriously and will always do everything in our
power to protect them,” Smyser said in a statement. “It is not
our intention to comment further on this matter while it is
being adjudicated.”
Attempts to reach Muller were not successful.
One of Muller’s relatives posed as the teen weeks after the
alleged encounter, prompting the teacher to try to set up a
meeting while stressing the need to be inconspicuous.
“Whatever you do, please don’t say that we’ve been talking,”
Muller wrote. “We can’t see or speak to each other until this
thing blows over … Hopefully after graduation but not sure.”
