Cecilia Mueller, a 46-year-old elementary school teacher in San Antonio, Texas, has been arrested and charged with continuous sexual assault of a child following an investigation by local authorities [1]. According to an arrest report, a 20-year-old man came forward alleging that he was subjected to inappropriate behavior and sexual acts by Mueller while he was in her fifth grade class at Lewis Elementary School during the 2016-17 school year [1]. The victim reported that Mueller engaged in conversations about crushes and other inappropriate topics, showed explicit music videos and, on one occasion, a pornographic video to students, and played truth or dare, sometimes daring students to kiss each other [1]. He further alleged that Mueller kissed him in a classroom closet and engaged in other sexual acts, instructing him not to tell anyone and warning that disclosure could 'ruin him' [1].
Mueller worked at Lewis Elementary School until June 2019 before transferring to Henderson Elementary School, where she has taught since August 2019 [1]. Following the allegations, she has been placed on leave by Northside Independent School District (NISD) Employee Relations, and district officials stated they are cooperating with the ongoing investigation [1]. Authorities expressed concern that there may be additional victims and are urging anyone with information to contact the San Antonio Police Department [1].
