Married teacher Stephanie Peterson 'had sex with boy, 14, in her car and in a barn at his house afte
A MARRIED teacher allegedly had sex with a boy in a car and barn at his house after forcing him to sneak out.
Stephanie Peterson, 26, from Florida, has been accused of sending the 14-year-old boy a barrage of nude selfies and taking his virginity.
Peterson was arrested in New Smyrna, Florida, after the boy confided in his parents.
According to a charge affidavit filed at the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, one of the boy’s parents received a call from a male teacher asking if he could mentor him.
Thinking the call strange, the parent joked to the boy if the teacher was going to molest him.
Weeping, the boy said: “Anyone could molest you.”
His parent then immediately suspected Peterson, after he told them he went to her classroom everyday and she bought him McDonald’s.
He then told his mum and dad that he had been sneaking out at night to have sex.
He claims they had sex several times, including once in her car parked in a driveway and twice inside a barn at his house.
According to the boy, his grades began to suffer, and he went from A grades to Fs because he was spending so much time with Peterson.
During interviews, it is claimed the teenager told investigators it all started when she started sending him images of herself in a state of undress.
The teenage schoolboy also claims the teacher also bought him marijuana and “a bowl to smoke it in”.
She also told him not to tell anyone about their relationship, he claims.
Peterson resigned from her position as science teacher at New Smyrna Beach middle school in Florida, two days before her arrest.
It was also revealed that Peterson is going through a divorce, and began proceedings last month.
