Plans to schedule a trial for the former Agua Dulce middle school teacher accused of having inappropriate relationships with her former students have stalled.<\/p>\n

On Thursday morning, Jaden Renee Charles appeared in the 105th District Court for a status hearing.<\/p>\n

Former Agua Dulce teacher accused of having inappropriate relationship with her students appears in court<\/p>\n

Charles is charged with two counts of sexual assault of a child and is accused of having a relationship with more than one student. The investigation into her alleged sex crimes spans over two counties- Nueces and Jim Wells.<\/p>\n

The charges stem from an incident that took place on Feb. 29, 2024 around 2:10 a.m. at a Walmart parking lot in Alice. <\/p>\n

According to court documents, Charles, who was 24 at the time, drove three students, including a 14-year-old boy, a 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, to the store’s parking lot. It states she tied a blanket around the front seats headrests of her SUV and had sex with the 14-year-old boy in the front seat while the other two teens sat in the back seat. <\/p>\n

At the time, Charles claimed she was pregnant with the 14-year-old boy’s baby.<\/p>\n

The documents also state during the investigation into what took place that evening, two of the teens said Charles had slept with other students at Agua Dulce Independent School District.<\/p>\n

According to investigators, they believe the alleged sex crimes with her victims took place in Agua Dulce and Alice.<\/p>\n

Jaden Renee Charles, 26, appeared before Judge Jack Pulcher Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

During Thursday’s hearing, Charles’ attorney, Robert J. Gonzalez told Judge Jack Pulcher, he has yet to receive evidence in this case from Jim Wells County.<\/p>\n

Gonzales said the cases in Jim Wells County may be connected to the two cases out of Nueces County and the Jim Wells County has not indicted Charles yet.<\/p>\n

In the end, Pulcher scheduled Charles’ next hearing for the first week of April.<\/p>\n

Charles was a science teacher at Agua Dulce Secondary School when she was arrested in March 2024.<\/p>\n
