MANDURAH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA (Thursday, January 22, 2026) — A former high school teacher in Western Australia has reportedly given birth to a child allegedly fathered by a teenage student she is accused of sexually abusing.

Naomi Tekea Craig, 33, a former educator at the prestigious Frederick Irwin Anglican School in Mandurah, is facing a series of serious child sex charges following an investigation into her conduct between 2024 and 2025.

⚖️ The Serious Allegations

The case, which has sent shockwaves through the coastal community south of Perth, involves four major child sex offences. According to court documents and reports from ABC Australia:

• Authority Abuse: Craig is charged with two counts of sexual penetration of a child by a person in a position of authority.
• Persistent Conduct: She also faces one count of persistent sexual conduct with a child under the age of 16.
• Exploitation Material: A fourth charge relates to the possession or distribution of child exploitation material.
• The Child: The West Australian has confirmed that Craig, who is married, recently gave birth to a baby. Sources close to the investigation allege the father is the student involved in the case.

🏫 School and Community Impact

Frederick Irwin Anglican School, where Craig was employed during the alleged offending, is one of the region’s leading private institutions.

• Immediate Dismissal: Once the allegations surfaced, the school terminated Craig’s employment and has been cooperating fully with the WA Police.
• Support Services: The school has offered counseling services to students and families affected by the news, emphasizing a “zero-tolerance” policy regarding educator misconduct.
• Privacy Protections: Due to the age of the victim, his identity remains strictly suppressed under Western Australian law to protect his privacy during the legal proceedings.
