“This is a clear violation of sexual battery laws, said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. “She was in a position of influence over the victim, and she took advantage of that for her own twisted pleasure.”

“We expect substitute teachers to uphold the same high standards of conduct and professionalism as our full-time educators, said Superintendent Frederick Heid. “The charges against this person are disgraceful and a complete violation of the trust that teachers build with their students. There is no room in our schools for this type of conduct.”
