LAKE MARY, Fla. -- A Seminole County middle school teacher was arrested Friday after deputies said they discovered her inside a vehicle shortly after she had sex with a 14-year-old boy.
Jennifer Tarkenton, 34, of Lake Mary, was arrested on three counts of lewd or lascivious battery on a child 12 or older by a person over the age of 18.
Tarkenton is a teacher at Greenwood Lakes Middle School in Lake Mary, according to Seminole County sheriff's investigators. Deputies said they believe that the boy is a student at the school.
According to a Seminole County sheriff's report, deputies responded to reports of a suspicious vehicle at about 10 p.m. Thursday in the area of 800 Banana Lake Road in Lake Mary. Deputies said a woman, later identified as Tarkenton, and a 14-year-old boy were inside the vehicle.
The boy told deputies that he and Tarkenton had sex inside the vehicle after she picked him up at his house, drove to a nearby pharmacy and purchased condoms.
"The bottom line is we have an adult in the position of trust. We have an adult in a position of authority. (This) should never happen," Seminole County sheriff's Lt. Dennis Lemma said.
Seminole County school district officials told Local 6 News that they will send letters to parents of students at Greenwood Lakes Middle School regarding the incident.
Tarkenton was transported to the John E. Polk Correctional Facility, where she later posted a $10,000 bond.

LOL! Funny!
I’m going with Guilty based on the evidence at hand.
Not enough evidence yet to pass judgment...
totally not guilty
Okay, I thought it was just me who thought this teacher looked a little bit “mannish”. Lose the makeup and a short haircut and....
I’m gonna have to lean to guilty there, although I need more evidence, your honor.
Ping me when there’s a full body shot.
Those eyebrows go all the way across without some serious plucking.
But seriously, she was caught in a car with a 14 yr old. If he were my son she would be dead.
If the burden is on the prosecution, there is not enough evidence for a conviction.
The jury’s still deliberating on this one, Your Honor.

Me too. Totally guilty.
Very high “porker” potential here.
Personally.....she looks more like Patty Hearst to me. And she is likely as crazy.
She looks like Demi Moore in “A Few Good Men”. I say not guilty.
Are you blind?
GUILTY AS HELL!
