Naomi Tekea Craig: WA teacher will be sentenced after admitting to child sexual abuse offences against a young boy
Teacher Naomi Tekea Craig will be sentenced after admitting to sexually abusing a young boy then giving birth to his baby.
A music teacher who sexually abused a young boy then gave birth to his baby will learn her fate later this year, after some of her charges were dropped.
Naomi Tekea Craig, 34, admitted to sexually abusing a child over a 16-month period between 2024 and 2025 when she pleaded guilty to all charges in the Mandurah Magistrates Court in February.
Craig was employed as a teacher at the Frederick Irwin Anglican School at Meadow Springs near Mandurah, about 50km south of Perth.

The former Frederick Irwin Anglican School music teacher pleaded guilty to 15 child sex offences in January.
She is yet to plead over another seven charges, but it was revealed in court that some charges would be dropped.
The court was also told the pre-sentencing reports — including a psychiatric report requested at her last appearance — were in the final stages of development.
Craig pleaded guilty to more than a dozen child abuse offences following a major police investigation into the persistent sexual abuse of her male student between 2024 and 2025.
Initially charged with four offences, Craig was slapped with further charges after DNA testing revealed she had given birth to a baby fathered by her victim.
He was just 13 when she gave birth on January 8.
Craig, 34, is married with one child and most recently taught under the surname Woods. A school newsletter revealed she was on maternity leave in December.
Outside court, Mr Tudori confirmed there were two charges against Craig being discontinued.
“Obviously, the conduct was over a period of time, we’re just fine-tuning what happened,” he said of the negotiations.
Craig’s bail was extended under the same conditions, which prevent Craig from having contact with any children other than her baby — including both her older child and the victim.
Ms Craig will be sentenced in the Perth District Court on November 17.
