A married Illinois teacher accused of sexually assaulting a teenager she was tutoring arrived at court with her husband by her side after he was blindsided by the charges against her. Christina Formella, 30, who also served as a boys' and girls' soccer coach, was arrested last month during a traffic stop after allegedly targeting a young student at Downers Grove South High School outside of Chicago. The boy, who was 15 years old at the time, was a soccer player who was being tutored by Formella after he broke his collarbone, according to court documents. Prosecutors said Formella used her position of power over the student to begin an inappropriate relationship with him that led to them having sex in her classroom in December 2023. Her husband, Michael, stood by her side at court on Monday, despite previously telling police he knew nothing about his wife's relationship with a student. The couple arrived at the DuPage County Courthouse wearing matching black pants and jackets with cream colored shirts. Formella appeared to have a full face of makeup done as she walked into court to face charges of criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse. The teacher has maintained that she never sexually assaulted the student and that 'everybody comes after her because she is good-looking,' according to court documents. DuPage County prosecutors claimed that during her police interview, Formella tried to portray her victim as a boy obsessed with a teacher because she's 'good looking' and claimed her husband was aware of the situation. 'Throughout her interview, [Formella] tried to paint [the accuser] as her "stalker" and claimed that her husband was aware,' prosecutors said in court documents. However, her husband, Michael, told investigators it was the first time he had heard about a situation involving the boy. 'Oddly enough, her husband told detectives that he knows nothing about [the accuser] beyond his status as a soccer player,' prosecutors said. The alleged assault occurred in December 2023, but the student's mother found disturbing messages between the two earlier in March when she logged into her son's iCloud account after she bought him a new phone. Formella allegedly sent shockingly lewd messages to the boy, telling him how much she 'loves him' and 'loves having sex' with him. In one exchange, Formella allegedly told the young student: ' I love you sooooo much baby… Even though this morning was short, it was perfect.' 'I know baby it was perfect baby so perfect,' the student is said to have written back. 'I love having sex with you,' Formella said. 'I know baby I love it so much… It feels so good… It's so passionate... It's so intimate … It's so perfect,' the student replied. She confessed to police that she 'cared too much' about the student, but claimed that he broke into her phone and sent the text messages as blackmail. 'She claimed that one day, [the boy], had grabbed her phone unattended, had entered her passcode... had sent the message to his phone, had then deleted the message from her phone, and had saved it to his phone as blackmail,' the documents said.
