Teacher admits having sex with pupil, 14, after her DNA is found on his bed
A science teacher faces up to 50 years behind bars after admitting to having sex with a 14-year-old student after her DNA was found on his bed.
26-year-old Megan Jordan, who taught at Hungary Creek Middle School in Virginia, has pleaded guilty to four counts of carnal knowledge and one count of indecent liberties of a minor. She was charged June 30 last year before her plea deal but now faces decades behind bars.
The middle school teacher sneaked into the teen's bedroom on multiple occasions in the 2022-2023 school term to have sex. Her DNA was found on his bedsheets. Some students admitted they saw signs of the teacher's grooming as the 'tension' between them was 'insane.'
One wrote on social media: "She was my teacher, I knew there was something wrong with her and the student's relationship. The student wouldn't do any of the work and she wouldn't bat an eye. I noticed subtle flirting and teasing, the tension between them was insane. She deserves a life sentence for grooming this poor kid."

She said: “During the 2022-23 school year, Ms. Jordan was having sexual relations with her 14-year-old student. On several occasions, Ms. Jordan would go to the victim’s house and have sexual intercourse with the student. Her DNA was recovered from his bed linens.
"Ms. Jordan faces up to 50 years in prison with the charges she has plead guilty to. I must recognise the brave action of those who brought this matter to the attention of Henrico Police Division.
The former Hungary Creek Middle School teacher was reported to police by students"We are always asking people if they see something unusual, or not quite right, to say something. Because of their efforts, this predator is off the streets, out of our schools, and will be held accountable for her actions.”
Henrico Schools called Jordan's arrest 'an extremely serious and upsetting situation' in an email to parents last year. "We have communicated with families at the school and will continue to support our school community in any way needed," it read.
The former teacher continues to be held without bond and will be sentenced on May 20.
