There are some disturbing allegations against a North Texas teacher. CBS 11 News has learned that Julianna Sauls has been arrested for allegedly stalking and attempting to sexually assault a student… and police say there may be other victims.
Sauls teaches algebra at Azle Christian Academy, a private school.
According to police affidavits, Sauls made a series of sexual advances toward a student at the school. The police documents say that Sauls touched the 18-year-old student inappropriately several times while at school. At one point, the victim claims, the teacher told him she wouldn't let him leave class until he kissed her.
Police say Sauls and the student exchanged e-mails, text messages, and even went to Fort Worth where they received tribal tattoos together.
While the 18-year-old claims Sauls made sexual advances, he says their relationship was never sexual.
Information in police warrants says Sauls and the student agreed to meet in a parking lot near the Azle High School football stadium. The boy claims he agreed to the meeting as long as the teacher promised that it wasn't to do anything sexual.
At that meeting the student claims that Sauls began saying how sexually frustrated she was, then pulled down his shorts and tried to perform oral sex on him.
After the advances, the boy claims he attempted to jump into his car to leave and Sauls told him to trust her, because "the other boys do." That alleged statement is what leads police to believe there are other underage victims.
The victim claims Sauls tried e-mailing and calling after the assault. Police seized computers and cell phones at the teacher's house.
Sauls turned herself in to police Wednesday and is charged with Sexual Assault and Improper Relationship Between Teacher and Student. She is free on $50,000 bond.
