Child Sex-Accused WA Teacher Gives Birth to Student’s Baby
Naomi Tekea Craig faces seven child sex offence charges; police confirmed DNA testing links the newborn baby to the alleged underage victim, with more charges expected.
- Police say DNA tests after the birth show Naomi Tekea Craig, 33, faces child sex offence charges, with police believing the newborn was fathered by her alleged underage student.
- Authorities say police initially charged Naomi Tekea Craig, 33, with four offences related to incidents between 2024 and 2025 in Mandurah, and she faces seven child‑sex offences in total.
- The school said the teacher had been on maternity leave since December and that student safety remains the priority with no believed risk to other pupils, while specialist detectives and support services investigate.
- Ms Craig has not entered a plea and the matter is before the courts, while WA Police said protecting children remains their highest priority and reports of offences are deeply distressing.
- Craig is due in Mandurah Magistrates Court on January 27 and police expect to lay three further charges, while Commissioner Col Blanch called the allegations `heinous` and Premier Roger Cook said the reports were confronting and disturbing.
