San Jose, California -- Rita Brum, a 24-year-old physical education teacher at Mount Pleasant High School in San Jose, Calif. was arrested after a girl's mother discovered Brum was having a lesbian relationship with her daughter.
According to investigators, the San Jose Police Department was notified Jan 18th of a child molestation incident involving Brum and a 17-year-old student. The inappropriate relationship was discovered by the student's mother, who allegedly found a love letter from Brum to her daughter.
Brum was arrested Feb. 26 and indicted Thursday on charges of having a sexual relationship with a minor.
Investigators say the teacher and student met early in the school year. As the relationship grew, the two began spending time together on and off campus. The relationship allegedly turned intimate in December, when Brum invited the teen over to her house to watch a hockey game.
During the encounter, the two engaged in a "long passionate kiss" that left the teen "freaked out", according to the student. After a few additional kisses on and off campus, the relationship evolved into a sexual one, according to police.
The relationship reportedly ended when the girl's mother discovered the letter.
After confronting her daughter, the teen's mother found Brum and confronted her in a hair pulling brawl that drew the attention of police.
Brum was interviewed, jailed and then released on a $15,000 bond. Brum was also terminated from her job at the school after school members voted to fire her.
