Most charges filed against a jailed pregnant Florida teacher, who was accused of having sex with a 15-year-old student last month, were dropped today by the Miami-Dade's Attorney General Office.
On Tuesday, the state of Florida only filed one charge against Heiry Calvi, 41, at her arraignment, dropping seven out of eight formal charges, including one for lewd and lascivious battery.
