A 30-year-old teacher in the US has been arrested after allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old girl multiple times. David Augustine Hodge Jr was charged on Wednesday with four counts of
engaging in sexual acts with a child. Police say Hodge abused his position in the school's chess club to have sex with the minor after Friday meetings. Among the disturbing allegations
is that he abused the child in a classroom on more than one occasion. The child's parents went to her school, West Homestead K-8 Center in Florida, on January 6, telling staff a teacher
was having sex with their daughter. The girl allegedly told investigators that the science teacher was her "boyfriend". Detectives also said Hodge confessed to having sex with the
minor, and that "he is in love with her". JUST IN: CHINESE AIRCRAFT 'INTENTIONALLY' FLEW OVER US AND WAS NOT WEATHER BALLOON - US OFFICIAL They said in a statement:
