34-year-old Roberto Andaverde taught at Webb Elementary in Navasota for several years before he was arrested and charged with indecency with a child three weeks ago. The former bilingual kindergarten teacher's confession plays a big role in how much time he could spend behind bars. According to a probable cause statement from the Navasota Police Department dated October 9, a report was filed by a school administrator. The report said a kindergartener made an outcry to her mother that Andaverde "hugged and touched her middle part." The probable cause statement says in an October 8 interview with a school administrator, the victim said Andaverde "gave her a hug ad then touched her middle part." The child identified where she was allegedly touched by Andaverde by identifying the mid-section on a doll.

The child was interviewed by child advocacy center Scotty's House on October 9, and repeated what she told the school administrator. On the same date, Andaverde confessed to hugging and touching the victim. He stated he was curious and later stated that "if he touched her there it must have been sexual." Andrade also admitted to two separate incidents, in which he stated they were on purpose and not accidental.

Grimes County District Attorney Tuck McLain said the case is expected to be presented to the grand jury in November. Meanwhile, Roberto Andaverde remains in the Grimes County jail on a $100,000. The district attorney says Andaverde faces two counts of indecency with a child with contact. If convicted of those charges Andaverde faces up to a $20,000 fine, and up to 40 years in prison.
