A former teacher at a charter school in Michigan is accused of engaging in a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student and disclosing the situation to a colleague, as reported by authorities.

Jocelyn Sanroman, 26, was charged with third-degree sexual conduct, FOX 2 reported.

The incident reportedly took place in 2023 while the teacher, identified as Sanroman, was working at Oakside Prep Academy, a charter school situated in Waterford Township, approximately 30 miles away from downtown Detroit.

Sanroman had not been arraigned as of Monday morning, but her mugshot was posted by deputies in Oakland County.

School officials said the allegations were troubling and that they acted immediately after learning about the accusations.

In response to the allegations, the school released a statement to FOX 2 affirming their commitment to offering a secure and supportive learning environment for their students. The school emphasized that the safety and well-being of the students under their supervision remain their utmost priority.

Oakside Prep Academy is part of the National Heritage Academies system, which boasts of its “Moral Focus” lessons that help students “discern and appreciate the difference between right and wrong,” the school’s website said.

“Our K-12 curriculum incorporates a strong moral focus, including perseverance, respect, compassion, and courage, into daily activities,” the website reads. “Each month, students focus on a different aspect of moral development, building their understanding from introduction to connection, reflection, and application. This method promotes self-awareness, empathy, and resilience, helping them thrive within a nurturing school community throughout their entire K-12 journey.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to National Heritage Academies for comment.
