Senior Reporter Rachel Fenner reveals Naomi Tekea Craig - the WA teacher who had a student’s baby - has pleaded guilty to all 15 charges in court.

A Mandurah music teacher who gave birth to her victim’s baby spent her final days of freedom posing for “glamour” maternity shoots at a Fremantle hotspot.

Naomi Tekea Craig, 33, pleaded guilty to 15 horrific charges of child sex abuse in court on Tuesday, including multiple counts of sexual penetration.

But just days before her arrest, the Frederick Irwin Anglican School teacher was living a double life as a “maternity model.”

In a series of professional photos — including one at Cicerello’s in Fremantle — the 33-year-old was seen posing in tracksuit pants with a small top covering her chest.

Other shots featured the mum-of-two in a leopard-print two-piece and unzipped zebra-inspired jeans, with one photographer even branding her an “absolute bombshell.”

The Freo photos were uploaded on December 7, less than ten days before she last abused the young student.

The case reached a new peak when DNA from the placenta confirmed the newborn baby, born on January 8, belonged to her underage victim.

Craig — who is married with another child — appeared via audio link in Mandurah Magistrates Court, where the matter was fast-tracked to the District Court for sentencing in March.

She is currently on bail but is banned from unsupervised contact with any child under 18, except for her newborn.
