Teacher arrested for repeatedly having sex with sixteen-year-old student

FLORIDA: A former teacher and basketball coach at a Florida high school has been arrested for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old male student. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release that 28-year-old Megan Parris turned herself in after a judge signed her arrest warrant. She was booked into the county jail on a count of unlawful sexual activity with a minor.

Parris taught math and helped coach the New Smyrna Beach High School girls’ basketball team.

The investigation began in March, after a student at the school reported allegations of inappropriate conduct involving Parris and the 16-year-old boy. The school placed Parris on paid administrative leave and she has not returned to the classroom.

During the seven-month investigation, which entailed interviews and search warrants for digital evidence, detectives allegedly established that Parris had sex with the victim off-campus.
