Teacher accused of tying up student, recording video in office during English proficiency lessons

A former Aldine ISD teacher who resigned while under investigation is now facing felony charges after a student told police he tied her up during one-on-one lessons and recorded video, according to Harris County court records. Jose Borjas, a former teacher at Victory Early College High School, is charged with two counts of felony unlawful restraint.  The student told school police she was pulled from class for English proficiency help in Borjas’ office, records show.  During those sessions, she told investigators Borjas tore up a T-shirt into strips and used the fabric to tie her mouth, restrain her hands behind a chair, and bind her feet and ankles together, according to records.
