The Longview Daily News report said that police were investigating a report that 35-year-old Christine Marie Johanson brought the boy, then 15, to Longview on several occasions to have sex.

The story also said that Columbia County authorities have forwarded the report to the FBI and the boy's mother said she's been told possible federal kidnapping charges might apply for allegedly crossing state lines with a minor for purposes of sex.

Johanson already stands accused of having a sexual relationship with the student while she worked at Hudson Park Elementary School. The indictment said she forced the boy to have sex with her.
