A former Omaha middle school teacher, accused of sexually assaulting a student, is facing new charges.

A mistrial was declared in July, after a jury deadlocked on whether 36-year-old Stephanie Draper committed first-degree sexual assault of a child, seven years ago.

On Thursday, prosecutors brought the same charge against her.
They also added a sexual contact charge and attempted sexual
assault of a child.

Draper is accused of having sex with a 14-year-old boy in 2002
when he was an eighth grader at the Millard school, where she
taught.

The boy, now 21-years-old, says he told police he contacted Draper before reporting the assault and demanded $5,000 to keep quiet about the relationship.

Draper's new trial is set for Dec. 8.
