According to The Madison Press, the Madison County Sheriff's Office has been investigating the allegations for months. The victim's mother talked with NBC 4's Nancy Burton, saying she had no idea of the sexual relationship until the teacher confronted her. "I don't understand any of it," said Pat, the victim's mother. Pat said her son's teacher, Angela Angus-Koppes, admitted that she was having sex with her son. "She did it to mine and I trusted her with my child. She was supposed to be a mentor," Pat said. According to a sheriff's report, Koppes was a special education teacher with Jonathan Alder School District. "I thought she was a very nice, kind, caring, Christian woman," Pat said. In the fall of 2005, Koppes was assigned to tutor the victim. "School-wise, he ranges in the 5th-grade levels," Pat said. Police said the sexual relationship began shortly after the tutoring began. "These things aren't supposed to happen," she said. Investigators said the sex took place in a car outside the victim's home and at Koppes' home, while her husband was at work. The victim told deputies that she was still his tutor and he thought it would be weird that she would tutor him after school. The sex allegedly continued after the school year ended, in a car behind a local church, and in a park in Hilliard. Koppes was charged with two counts of sexual battery. She is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
