Illinois Teacher Arrested Over Alleged Relationship With Student

Cops pull over the 30-year-old driver of a gray Volkswagen, and she's in big trouble.

Step out of the car. I know you're confused. I'll explain everything to you.

30-year-old Christina Formella is with her husband, and neither has a clue what the heck's going on.

I don't understand what's going on here. Yeah.

You can go grab your things. Can he come with me?

Yes, yes. Moments later, cops slap cuffs on her.

But why? They're not saying much. Once you get to the police department, um, you'll talk to the detective and he'll explain everything to you.

In the back of the squad car, Christina smacks her lips as she tries to process the sudden turn of events in her life.

Finally, the cops fill her in. I have a feeling I'm gonna throw up.

So what's the charge? The 30-year-old teacher allegedly carried on an affair with a 15-year-old student.

The teen's mom says she discovered these lurid text messages on his cell phone.

"I love you so, so much, mama." "I love you so much, baby.

Even though this morning was short, it was perfect."

Christina Formella got married last year in Italy, months after the alleged tryst with the student had begun.

The teacher is now on paid leave from Downers Grove South High School outside Chicago.

We are heartbroken for the victim and also for the hundreds of students, staff, and family who trusted this teacher and feel betrayed by this terrible situation.

She says she's done nothing wrong and is being framed and blackmailed by the student.

Cops say she told them everybody comes after her because she's good-looking.
