Authorities allege New Jersey schoolteacher Laura Caron, 34, sexually assaulted her former student between 2016 and 2020 and their child was born in 2019.

The alleged assault happened when they lived together at her home, the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office revealed.

It wasn't until the teenager's dad spotted Caron's five-year-old son bore a striking resemblance to himself and his son after checking a photo on Facebook, according to cops.

The two of them met when Caron taught him and his brother at Middle Township Elementary School, the reports.

The teenager's family had reportedly a good relationship with the teacher and allowed their two sons and daughter to spend a couple of nights per week at her house.

The three of them lived permanently with Caron between 2016 and 2020, sharing a bedroom.

It was during that time that Caron allegedly fell pregnant after having “inappropriate sexual relations” with her former pupil, cops said.

She gave birth to the baby in 2019.

The boy's sister said she remembered going to sleep with her brother in the same room but waking up to find him in Caron's bed, the criminal complaint alleges.

She added that the teacher started sleeping with her brother when he was 11 years old.

The victim allegedly admitted to his sister in a text that he was the dad of the child and asked her to keep it a secret.

Investigators allege that the teen’s brother had once seen Caron sexually assaulting his sleeping brother.

The alleged victim, who is now between 19 and 20 years old, revealed the sexual relationship with Caron to investigators during an interview and confirmed he is the baby's child.

Police arrested Caron at her home on Wednesday and charged her with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, and endangering the welfare of a child.

She is being held at the Cape May County Correctional Facility without bond until her initial court appearance, according to the prosecutors and court records viewed by The Post.

Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffery Sutherland said: "This arrest underscores the unwavering commitment of our office and law enforcement partners to protect the children in our community.

“Teachers hold a position of great trust, and the allegations in this case represent a deeply troubling breach of that trust.
