His attorney said they are awaiting DNA evidence to determine if the child is the teen's.Sheriff Daniel Edwards said that Freche turned herself in to detectives Tuesday morning. Edwards said the allegations of misconduct go back approximately two years.Last week the Tangipahoa Parish School District issued a statement saying that they are aware of the allegations involving a former employee but that it involves "confidential student and personnel issues." The district said it would have no further comment."George Tucker, the teen's attorney, said the family is considering suing the school as he says several people there knew of the relationship but the family had to find out indirectly."He found out by way of a family member of the superintendent ," said Tucker.
