A man found out his wife — a middle school teacher — was engaging in sex acts with a 14-year-old student and threatened to report her, Florida news outlets reported from court documents.

Now, 32-year-old Sarah Jacas is charged with statutory rape by an authority figure, two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation and two counts of lewd or lascivious battery, according to Orange County records.

The Corner Lake Middle School directory shows Jacas taught math at the Orlando school, where she was hired nearly five years ago, according to Orange County Public Schools.

Investigators said the student came forward to report Jacas had sexually abused him when he was 14 during the 2022-23 school year, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by WESH.

The teen used to eat lunch in the teacher’s classroom because he struggled socially, WESH reported, and deputies said the teacher began taking advantage of him.

The student said Jacas sexually abused him multiple times, including in her classroom during lunch, WOFL reported from law enforcement.

The teacher’s husband found out about her sex acts with the teen and threatened to report her, and the boy’s parents also discovered their text messages, deputies said, according to WOFL.

Investigators said Jacas moved their conversation to Instagram, where she texted the teen in strings of numbers that stood for affectionate messages, WKMG reported.

The teen said 115 meant “I miss you,” and 520 meant “I love you,” according to the affidavit obtained by WKMG.

Records show she was arrested by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office on June 23 and posted bond two days later.

The middle school’s principal, Paul Browning, sent a message notifying students’ families of “allegations of misconduct” from two years ago.

“Although I cannot discuss employee matters, please know this person will not be returning to campus pending the outcome of the investigation,” he wrote in the message obtained by McClatchy News.
