A Florida high school teacher was arrested for allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old female student.

Molly Mersereau, aged 36 and a former employee of the Santa Rosa County School District, faces charges including contributing to a minor’s delinquency, two instances of utilizing a communication device to aid a felony, second-degree felony criminal solicitation, and engaging in a romantic relationship with a student as a school authority.
