Craig has been charged with seven offences in total, including new counts on January 21, 2026 of sexually penetrating a child aged 13-16 and under 16, indecent dealing with a child in the same age range, and indecent dealings with a child under 13, with a court appearance scheduled for next week.

Initial charges from 2025 included two counts of sexually penetrating a child aged 13-16 as a person in authority, possession of child exploitation material, and persistent sexual conduct with a child under 16.

Frederick Irwin Anglican School notified parents the investigation is ongoing and there is no believed risk to other students while proceedings continue.

Police and officials say DNA testing suggests the student is believed to be the father of the child born during Craig’s pregnancy, though caution is urged as the matter is before the court.

Western Australian officials, including police and the Premier, have stressed the seriousness of alleged abuse by someone in a position of authority.

Craig has been on maternity leave since December and was suspended from duty; the alleged victim is no longer a student at the school.

Reports contrast Craig’s former family-oriented image with the gravity of the charges, which have shocked Australia.

Craig is due to appear via audio-visual link in Mandurah Magistrates Court on January 27, following an initial appearance in December.

Frederick Irwin Anglican School is a private co-educational Anglican school in Meadow Springs, serving kindergarten through Year 12, with a primary campus in Halls Head.

Police Commissioner described the allegations as heinous and highlighted that offences involving someone in authority are particularly aggravating, noting the case is before the court and raising public concern about youth exploitation.

Authorities confirm Craig was pregnant at the time of arrest; she has been suspended from teaching and barred from school grounds, with officials stating there is no current risk to other students based on available statements.

Naomi Tekea Craig, a music teacher at the school, faces multiple charges related to a student from Mandurah, alleged to have occurred between 2024 and 2025.
