A now-32-year-old Florida teacher is accused of having sex with a student in a classroom during lunchtime.
Sarah Jacas, a mathematics teacher at Corner Lake Middle School, part of Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) in the Orlando metro area, was arrested on Monday. She appeared before a judge on Tuesday, according to local reports.
Fox News Digital reviewed an arrest warrant affidavit in which a now-16-year-old boy claimed that he engaged in sexual activities with Jacas when he was 14. These incidents allegedly occurred from December 2022 to 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 affidavit mentioned that the alleged victim told investigators he would have lunch in Jacas’ classroom, as he struggled to fit in and connect with the right peers.
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.
Jacas faces charges including two counts of lewd or lascivious battery (custodial authority), two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation (custodial authority) and one count of sex offense – authority figure solicit/engage sexual conduct statutory rape, according to online court records, with bond set at $19,000.
