The 34-year-old Chula Vista resident was arrested not once, but two times when investigators uncovered 15 alleged child-sex abuse, pornography and other crimes.
"Ms. Ma irrefutably denies that claim," Vela said."Ms. Ma did not make contact with the alleged victim when she was released after she posted bail of $10,000. In fact the people acknowledge that the investigation is complete.”
Earlier this week, the prosecutor alleged Ma groomed the boy by giving him gifts and exchanging messages with the teen that eventually became sexual in nature. He also said her behavior towards the boy was"obsessive'' and stated that upon her arrest, a photograph of the boy was found in her wallet, she had jewelry bearing his initials, and love letters to the boy were discovered in her classroom.
Prosecutors have said said the teacher and the boy communicated via apps that were designed to delete messages beginning when the child, who is now 13, was 12. Later, communication between the two occurred almost daily, according to investigators. Ma allegedly told the victim to delete the messages and, prosecutors said, both asked for and sent inappropriate messages, including photographs and videos of herself.
