Project Safe Schools: Federal grand jury charges former high school teacher with enticement offense for alleged sexual relations with a minor

LUBBOCK, Texas - United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould announced that a former Muleshoe, Texas High School teacher has been charged in a federal enticement case involving a minor student.

A federal grand jury in Lubbock returned an indictment today charging Allegra Fey Mora, 28, with enticement of a minor for allegedly having sexual relations with one of her students.

"The full force of my office will be brought to bear on teachers, administrators, and school districts who perpetuate a cycle of abuse in our schools," said U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould. "No one who abuses a position of authority over a child in the Northern District of Texas will escape scrutiny. As I said before, Project Safe Schools is here to stay, and I'd encourage teachers, administrators and school districts to report any and all abuse that has occurred in the past to my office. If we find out about it on our own, the consequences will be more severe. And to North Texas parents, we will continue to fight for you to put bad actors in prison who abuse kids and create a culture of concealment in our North Texas schools."

"Protecting children from exploitation is among HSI's highest priorities, especially when allegations involve an abuse of trust by someone in a position of authority," said HSI Dallas Deputy Special Agent in Charge Antwoine Jones. "HSI Dallas will continue working alongside our partners to identify, investigate and support the prosecution of those who target minors. Every child deserves to be safe from exploitation, including in the places where they should feel most protected."

According to the indictment, from October 2025 to May 2026, Mora allegedly knowingly used a facility and means of interstate and foreign commerce, including a cellular telephone, to persuade, induce, entice and coerce a minor to engage in sexual activity. Texas Rangers initiated an inquiry in June 2026 after receiving a report concerning possible inappropriate sexual conduct between Mora and a 17-year-old Muleshoe High School student. During the investigation, law enforcement conducted interviews, collected electronic evidence and executed search warrants related to the case. The evidence reviewed by investigators corroborates alleged explicit communications and conduct underlying the federal charge.

Mora was arrested by state authorities earlier this year and was released pending further state proceedings. If convicted, Mora faces a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years and up to life in federal prison.

The Texas Rangers conducted the investigation with forensic assistance from Homeland Security Investigations - Dallas. Assistant U.S. Attorney Callie Woolam from the Lubbock Division is prosecuting the case.

Project Safe Schools is a federal initiative aimed at protecting students, enforcing accountability and restoring transparency in public schools across North Texas. Project Safe Schools directly targets failures in mandatory reporting of educator misconduct and combats the practice known as "passing the trash," where educators with known misconduct issues move between schools without disclosure of their prior wrongdoing. Project Safe Schools' goals are to:

• Enforce mandatory reporting requirements tied to federal education programs.
• Hold school districts, administrators and teachers accountable through civil and criminal enforcement.
• Increase transparency in educator misconduct investigations.
• Strengthen student safety across schools in North Texas.

An indictment is an allegation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
