A Las Vegas substitute teacher has been accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old student after his father noticed a love bite on the boy's neck.
Tanikka Bella Queen, who was working as a long-term substitute at Hyde Park Middle School, faces charges of sexual assault against a child, sexual seduction and kidnap.
The 22-year-old, who taught geography, initially denied having a relationship with the teenager, but later told police she was in love with him.
When detectives searched cell phone records they found 2.400 messages, 108 phone calls and 38 images that had been shared between Queen and the student.
Queen was arrested Tuesday, but the alleged inappropriate relationship began shortly after she started teaching at the student's school on February 2.

The student's father reported Queen after discovering messages from Queen about the relationship on a cell phone belonging to the boy's sister.
He also noticed a love bite on his son's neck.
According to police reports seen by the Las Vegas Review Journal, Queen and the boy would meet at a park, or arrange tutoring sessions at the lunch break. more:
