from amarillo.com – An Amarillo grade school teacher turned herself in Tuesday on a charge she sexually assaulted a 15-year-old boy.
Julie Ann Moore, 34, was released from the Potter County Jail after posting a $7,500 bond. Texas Rangers issued an arrest warrant earlier in the day after a monthlong investigation uncovered a sexual relationship with an Amarillo High School student, according to a complaint filed Tuesday.
Under the conditions of her bond, Moore, a third-grade teacher at Sanborn Elementary School, is prohibited from having contact with minors except her own children.
Moore invited a teenage boy to her car in September or October, when she had sex with him during halftime of an Amarillo High School football game, the complaint said.
Moore asked the boy during the game at Dick Bivins Stadium if he wanted to “see something she had in her car,” according to the complaint. The boy followed her to the vehicle, where she told him to look in the console, the complaint said. There, he saw a box of condoms, the complaint said.
The boy told investigators Moore drove him to the back of a nearby apartment complex, where the two climbed into the back seat, the document said. She began kissing the boy, removing her clothes first and then his before the two had sex for 10 to 15 minutes, according to the complaint.
Moore then drove the boy back to the stadium before the second half began, the complaint said.
In November, Texas Rangers began investigating allegations Moore had exchanged inappropriate text messages and engaged in a sexual relationship with at least one high school student, according to an affidavit filed Friday.
The affidavit mentions three 15-year-old boys, including one Moore was observed with during an Amarillo High football game by a Department of Public Safety official.
On Nov. 11, Rangers seized a Dell laptop computer, two USB flash drives and an AT&T Subscriber Identity Module card, from her Randall County home, according to court records.
The same day, Rangers seized an iPhone 4 from Sanborn Elementary, 700 S. Roberts St., the records said.
On Nov. 14, the following Monday, the AISD placed Moore on paid administrative leave, district spokeswoman Holly Shelton said.
A week before the searches, on Nov. 4, a Texas Ranger met with a 15-year-old student, described as “Juvenile Victim 1.2,” who detailed in an audio interview “three sexual encounters” with Moore, according to affidavits filed Friday.
The student told authorities he and Moore exchanged about 100 text messages — half of them “extremely sexually explicit” — over three months, starting in June and ending in August, the affidavits said.
Moore offered the 15-year-old oral sex in one of the text messages, according to the documents.
The student said Moore kissed him with an open mouth and rubbed the front of his pants, according to the affidavits.
His parents voluntarily surrendered his cellphone, laptop and a desktop computer to investigators so a computer expert could analyze them, the document said.
The affidavits also described a meeting between a DPS official and a Texas Ranger last month.
That official told investigators he observed Moore and a 15-year-old boy at an Amarillo High game “hugging, sitting next to each other during the football game, walking off together and speaking privately together for a lengthy amount of time,” according to the documents.
Moore’s husband, Matthew, 37, declined to comment Tuesday at the couple’s Sleepy Hollow home. Her lawyer, Joe Marr Wilson, could not be reached.
Sexual assault of a child is a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
AISD hired Moore in September 2002, and her annual salary is $45,843, according to district records.
