This story about a married Florida math teacher, Sarah Jacas, getting arrested for allegedly hooking up with a student in the classroom during lunch is wild. I mean, you hear about stuff like this on the news, but it’s a whole other thing when it’s happening right in your own town.
You got to wonder what was going through this teacher’s mind – like, did she really think she could get away with it? And what about the student involved? How did they think this was a good idea?
She was arrested on Monday and faced a judge on Tuesday, local reports say.
On June 10, a now-16-year-old boy told investigators he had sex with Jacas when he was 14, according to an arrest warrant affidavit viewed by Fox News Digital.
The alleged sexual encounters were said to have taken place between December 2022 and April 2023.
“That individual is a 10-month employee and is not working at OCPS during the summer break,” an OCPS spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
The school’s principal sent a message to the school community that said, “I can assure you I take all allegations very seriously and there is an ongoing investigation by law enforcement and the district’s Office of Professional Standards.”
“Although I cannot discuss employee matters, please know this person will not be returning to campus pending the outcome of the investigation,” the message continued.
The alleged victim told investigators he would eat lunch in Jacas’ classroom “because he had issues fitting in and associating with the right crowd,” the affidavit said.
The two allegedly texted each other until the minor’s parents found out.
When that communication was cut off, Jacas allegedly used an Instagram account to communicate.
The relationship was eventually discovered by Jacas’ husband, who threatened to report her, according to the affidavit.
It’s crazy to think about what goes on behind closed doors, right? But hey, let’s hope they get to the bottom of it and justice is served.
