Twenty-five-year-old Kelsey Peterson was until a certain time considered an exemplary teacher. She easily found a common language with many students in the secondary school where she worked. The staff of this institution spoke very flatteringly about Kelsey, and no one would have thought that she was dating a 12-year-old student. She met Fernando Rodriguez at one of the classes, and immediately a good and very close communication arose between them. After a while, Peterson and Rodriguez began to exchange very intimate messages. The boy could stay with his teacher until late, and until a certain time this did not arouse suspicion in anyone. Over time, Rodriguez began to spend the night at Kelsey’s, and it became clear that their purely friendly relationship had become intimate. Rumors reached the school administration about what their teacher was doing. They began to investigate and confiscated Kelsey’s personal laptop, on which they later found several dozen emails of love content from Rodriguez and, accordingly, from Kelsey. Peterson knew that the police would arrest her for having an affair with a minor, and began to actively plan their joint romantic life with Rodriguez in her homeland in Mexico.
In total, they traveled 2,250 km to Mexico. At this time, Rodriguez calmly watched cartoons in the back seat of the car. The couple spent a week on the run and quickly ran out of money. Rodriguez called his family and asked them to send money. The FBI traced his call, and the Mexican authorities immediately grabbed the pair. Peterson pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven years and three months in prison. Later, Rodriguez admitted that at first he really liked the teacher’s attention to him.
He showed everyone in the class in every possible way that he was better, because the teacher was in love with him. But after a while, this relationship began to weigh on him. He realized that this was wrong, because the age of the teacher was significantly different from his age, and they did not really communicate well. While the boy and Peterson were spending time together, Rodriguez found himself a friend of his own age and actively began to communicate with her. At the station, he admitted that he was much more comfortable with her, and not with Peterson, even despite the fact that he had his first sexual experience with her.
