Havemann-Niedrach, a mother-of-two, pled guilty in January to sexually assaulting the boy when he was in eighth grade over a six-month period. The rape happened in 2024.
Authorities began probing the Jackson Township woman when the school’s vice principal reported concerns about her relationship with the teen after another teacher allegedly saw her rubbing his neck and back, touching his leg, and flirting, prosecutors said.
The boy’s mother told investigators that she had become concerned about her son after his sister saw him sitting in the teacher’s car and noticed he was on his phone late into the night.
The uncovered 25,000 messages Havemann-Niedrach sent her son. It is alleged the boy also bragged to his friends that he was dating his teacher.
Questioned by investigators when his mother dragged him to the police station, the teen eventually admitted to sex with the teacher.
