The alleged relationship between Brittiny Lopez-Murray, 31, and the 14-year-old student began after the teacher texted the teen in August about ‘her feelings toward’ him, according to a police report obtained by the Miami Herald.

The 31-year-old following her arrest on Monday now faces multiple sex crime charges.

Lopez-Murray and the student — who is now in high school — exchanged texts detailing ‘how much they enjoyed the sex with each other,’ the report said.

Lopez-Murray has taught at Hialeah Middle for four years and was named ‘rookie teacher of the year’ in 2017.

The alleged relationship was uncovered Saturday after the student’s sister saw explicit texts and photos between him and the teacher, leading to the female educator’s arrest on Monday CBSMiami reported.

The boy’s father also found nude photos of Lopez-Murray on his son’s phone.

Abuse of authority, trust & power

‘All employees receive training and are expected to abide by the District’s Standards of Ethical Conduct policy. It is unfortunate that despite our efforts, the actions of some individuals run contrary to the behavior that is expected of them,’ the district said.

Lopez-Murray was charged with lewd and lascivious battery, molestation, and engaging in a sexual act with a child.
