She then confronted her boyfriend about the messages before reporting them to the school principal at Milby High School in Houston, where Amedeo taught culinary arts, in April.

The victim admitted first to the principal and then to police that he and Amedeo had sex once in December 2015, according to KPRC. 

He and the teacher had exchanged phone numbers that fall and had begun to message each other. 

Then one day Amedeo picked up the boy in his car and they ran errands together before going to the teacher's apartment, where the victim said they had sex in his bedroom, documents state.

The boy said he took a shower in the apartment before Amedeo drove him back home. 

Authorities had the teen describe Amedeo's apartment to investigators, who then went to the residence and found that it matched the description, according to CW 39. 

Charges were filed on Tuesday and Amedeo surrendered on Thursday. He is currently free on $30,000 bond.

He is no longer employed at Milby High School or the Houston Independent School District.
