Camryn Zelinger, 32, was taken into custody at work at the Encore High School for the Arts in Riverside, California on Monday

A mother of a 14-year-old girl who was allegedly molested by her married female teacher has described finding the sexts on her daughter's phone.

Camryn Zelinger, 32, was arrested at the Encore High School for Arts in Riverside, California on Monday.

The girl's mother told KTLA she contacted police over the weekend with the allegations of the months-long relationship after finding messages from Zelinger on her teen's phone.

'I'm a nosy mother. I grabbed her phone and I looked at texts from this teacher, sexting my baby over the phone, over the texts - just all this stuff,' she said.

Police said their investigation found there had been inappropriate physical contact and communications between Zelinger and the student.

Authorities confirmed one of the ways they had been communicating was via text message.

Zelinger, who recently married her husband, was charged with suspicion of lewd or lascivious acts with a minor and annoying or molesting a child under 18.

The mother of the girl said she knew something was wrong before she found out about the alleged abused.

'She wouldn't tell me, she was too afraid. She kept saying, "Nothing, mom, nothing, mom".'

She said her daughter eventually told her Zelinger had been allegedly molesting her 'first period, eighth period, all throughout the day'.

Police said Encore High School for the Arts has fully cooperated with the investigation.

Zelinger is no longer employed at the school, which serves students grades 7-12.

Parents said Zelinger, who was recently married, said she would send requests to other teachers to remove the female student out of class so the pair could spend more time together.
