Sarah Jacas, a 32-year-old middle school math teacher at Corner Lake Middle School in Orlando, Florida, has been arrested on multiple charges related to sexual misconduct with a former student. Jacas faces serious allegations including statutory rape by an authority figure, two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation, and two counts of lewd or lascivious battery.

According to an arrest affidavit, the incidents reportedly occurred during the 2022-2023 school year when the victim was 14 years old. The now 16-year-old student claimed that the abuse took place in Jacas’ classroom while he was eating lunch, a space where he felt socially awkward. The abuse allegedly happened multiple times, primarily during lunch hours when students had more freedom to interact with teachers.

The situation came to light when Jacas’ husband discovered text messages on their shared devices that suggested an inappropriate relationship between Jacas and the student. After threatening to report her, he shared his findings with Jacas. Additionally, the boy’s parents also found these messages, prompting them to contact authorities. The text exchanges included coded messages sent through Instagram, where Jacas expressed affection using numerical codes (for instance, “115” signifying “I miss you” and “520” representing “I love you”).

On June 23, 2025, Jacas was apprehended by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. She appeared before a judge shortly after her arrest, subsequently posting bond two days later. In the wake of her charges, Corner Lake Middle School principal Paul Browning communicated with families about the allegations of misconduct, confirming that Jacas would not return to the campus pending an ongoing investigation. Due to the sensitive nature of the situation, school administrators indicated that they could not disclose specific details regarding the matter involving Jacas.

The allegations against Jacas have sent shockwaves through the local community, raising significant concerns about safety and trust within schools. Parents and residents are understandably alarmed by the reported incidents, highlighting the importance of vigilance in educational environments to protect students from potential abuses of power by authority figures.

Jacas was employed at Corner Lake Middle School for nearly five years before the allegations surfaced. The case has ignited discussions not only about the responsibilities of educators but also the measures taken to ensure student safety and wellbeing in schools. The dynamics of teacher-student relationships are being scrutinized, urging a critical examination of existing policies aimed at preventing similar incidents in the future.

The investigation remains ongoing as authorities continue to gather evidence and statements regarding the matter. Future legal proceedings are expected to unfold as both the prosecution and defense prepare to address the serious charges stemming from Jacas’ actions.

This case exemplifies the complexities surrounding trust within educational institutions, and it underscores the essential need for transparent communication between school officials, parents, and students. Observers call for increased awareness and proactive measures to safeguard students in educational settings, while the community awaits further developments in this troubling case.
