“This defendant is accused of using her position of authority to exploit a minor victim,” Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said in a statement.
“These allegations represent the ultimate breach of trust placed in educators by parents and the community. As a former teacher myself, I applaud the teacher who contacted police about this situation, protecting other students from further exploitation.”

Meanwhile, for Florida math teacher and married mom Sarah Jacas, 32, the equation allegedly equalled perversion.

He told cops that the pair allegedly began having lunch together in her classroom during the 2022-23 school year. The young student allegedly struggled to fit in with the “right crowd” and was lonely, police said.
The alleged victim said the two grew close during the lunches, but slowly, she began to groom and isolate the boy from other students. Their lunchtime friendship began to express itself in physical ways.
At first, it was just hugs and kisses on the cheek, but that extended to texting outside school. Once the boy’s mother caught them texting at 1 a.m. Mom thought the late-night messaging was “abnormal.”
She allegedly confessed to the boy: “I just had sex with my husband, and it wasn’t the best… I imagined it was you.”
One week before March Break in 2023, the boy revealed that Jacas pulled the curtains in her classroom and the pair had sexual intercourse. They had sex every day afterwards.
But the pair were soon caught out when Jacas’ hubby learned about his wife’s raunchy antics, an affidavit said. He posed as a his wife contacted the teen boy on the secret account.

On June 16, in the presence of detectives, he called Jacas. She has not entered a plea and the school said she would not be returning to work.

A New Jersey teacher has been arrested and charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault, second-degree sexual assault, and endangering the welfare of a child.
According to cops, Laura Caron, 34, began sexually abusing the victim when he was just 11 years old. The abuse allegedly continued over a four-year period, during which time Caron was a Grade 5 teacher at Middle Township Elementary School.

In a probable cause statement, Caron gave birth to a daughter in 2019 when the boy was 13 and she was 27. The victim’s sister told cops that he claimed to be the father.

“These allegations are deeply disturbing, particularly given the position of trust the defendant held in relation to the victim,” said Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey H. Sutherland.
Caron, who was arrested in January and later released on bail, faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted on all charges. She is scheduled to appear in court on July 16 and has not yet entered a plea.
