A now-32-year-old Florida teacher is accused of having sex with a student in a classroom during lunchtime.
A mathematics teacher named Sarah Jacas, working at Corner Lake Middle School under Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) in the Orlando metro area, has been reported to be arrested on Monday, with a court appearance following on Tuesday based on local sources.
An arrest warrant affidavit seen by Fox News Digital revealed that on June 10, a boy, who is now 16 years old, informed investigators that he had engaged in sexual activities with Jacas when he was 14. The reported incidents were specified to have occurred 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.

According to the affidavit, the alleged victim shared with investigators that he used to have lunch in Jacas’ classroom as he struggled with fitting in and finding the right crowd to associate with.
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.
