Stephanie A. Stein, his 31-year-old, married former teacher at Plymouth Christian Academy, gave in to him.
They had sex at his Canton home, at Stein's mother's home in Canton, and in a hotel.
That was the teen's testimony Friday during Stein's preliminary examination in 35th District Court in Plymouth. He isn't being named because the Free Press doesn't identify alleged victims of sex crimes.
Stein of Canton was bound over on two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, each a 15-year felony; one count of using the Internet to communicate with a minor to send a sexually explicit photo of herself, a 4-year felony, and one count of distributing obscene material of a sexual nature to a minor, a 2-year felony.
She has denied the charges. Her arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 12 in Wayne County Circuit Court.
"Under the law, it doesn't matter whose idea it was -- he's a minor," Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Lora Weingarden said after the hearing, at which the boy was the only witness to testify.
Stein, a part-time English teacher at the school, resigned in June.
She remains free on a $50,000 personal bond and has been ordered not to have contact with the teen. She also cannot have contact with any children, other than her own with supervision.
During the hearing, Stein's attorney, Todd Flood, asked the teen questions that portrayed the boy as obsessed with Stein. The boy agreed that he went to her home multiple times to try persuade her to have sex.
The teen denied that he made up a lot of the affair and said he was in love with Stein.
Stein taught the boy two years ago. He said they began a relationship in January that ended in September, and that they had sex during the summer.
