Court records say Vanessa Aguilar's bond was set at $500,000 after allegedly assaulting a 13-year-old student on three separate occasions, court records said.
Friday, April 17, 2026 5:03PMA former Pasadena Independent School District employee has been fired and charged after allegedly sexually assaulting a middle school student, according to the Pasadena Independent School District.
According to court documents, Vanessa Aguilar has been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child under the age of 14 after three encounters with a student who was 13 years old on campus. Charging documents said Aguilar was a paraprofessional at Queens Intermediate in Pasadena ISD, and the alleged incidents happened in February 2026.
