Teacher/Babysitter Accused of Sexually Assaulting Boy, 13 - Lauren Michelle Cosgrove, Strickland Middle School

A 28-year-old married, mother of two, who's full time job is teaching middle school, but who babysits during the summer, now faces two charges of aggravated sexual assault of a 13-year-old boy who is her former student and current babysittie. According to cops, Lauren Michelle Cosgrove, who taught at Strickland Middle School, was caught after the 13-year-old victim's siblings reported that something fishy was going on between the babysitter and their brother. As in, they would see the two kissing, and other times would go into his bedroom and shut the door. That's not good.
When confronted, the teen admitted to the relationship and that the two had sexual relations but planned to "be together when he reaches the age of 18. ” Oh really? According to the arresting document, "[The victim] said he was worried what the consequences for Lauren would be. He said he knew she was wrong for what she had done but said he was also at fault. He said Lauren had told him she was afraid she would lose her children if anyone found out about their relationship.” Too late. At right, Lauren Michelle Cosgrove's mug shot picture. (Dallas News)
