Ventura County Star: Substitute teacher ordered to stand trial over charge of 'sexting' student (Dec 4 2012) Vanessa Tsakrios, 25, of Camarillo, and the Pacifica High School student exchanged sexually explicit text messages and photos, Oxnard police Detective Erica Escalante testified. Escalante described an incident in which Tsakrios kissed the boy after a science laboratory class ended and other students had left the room. The boy had skipped football practice and gone up to the class where Tsakrios was substitute teaching, according to Escalante.

Superior Court Judge Brian Back ruled that Tsakrios, arrested in June by Oxnard police, should be held to answer to one charge of luring of a child.
