A female school teacher from Floridahas pleaded guilty to having sex with a 14-year-old student and sending her nude pictures to him.
27-year-old Stephanie Peterson pleaded guilty as part of a plea deal to one count of lewd or lascivious battery sex act with a child and one count of transmission of harmful material to minors by electronic means. Both are felonies, according to Mail Online
Peterson will face a minimum of five years and a maximum of 10 years in prison when she is sentenced.
The former New Smyrna Beach Middle School science teacher was arrested in February after the 14-year-old told his parents about their relationship.
The publication reported that the young boy confessed to his parents that Peterson would pick him up from their home at 11pm and that they often spent hours together at her home while her firefighter husband was at work.
According to him, he had sex with Peterson in her house and car as well as a barn behind his own house from November 2017 to January 2018. He also revealed that Peterson had sent him nude photographs of herself and that she bought him marijuana and a 'bowl to smoke it' in.
The teen reportedly told his parents that his relationship with the teacher was hurting his grades.
Snapchat messages between Peterson and the teen which were obtaimed from the 14-year old-boy's phone were released by the State Attorney's Office earlier this month. In the messages, Peterson was panicking after finding out that the teen's mother knew about them and was planning to report her to the police.
So she's planning on doing something with it,' Peterson messaged the student.
'I hate you,' she added. 'So much.'
Peterson then told the teen to tell his mother that it was the 'worst decision of my life'.
'I know it was and idk where my brain was but I somehow fell in love with you briefly and idk why [sic].'
'I'll never been the same person because of it.'
Peterson then asked the teen if she should call his mom, before begging him to 'delete everything'.
