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.

I have some doubts about this one's guilt.

Have you noticed none of these reports are about men? Seriously, it’s simply amazing to continue to watch these reports fly by, and none of them address men who have abused young girls.

Probable cause, for sure.

I'm gonna have to go with "Not Guilty" on this one. (Though, I'm willing to change my verdict if this picture turns out to be like one of an iceberg; i.e. 90% not visible above the waterline.)

I’ll reserve judgement until I see what’s below the neck.

Guilty!

We don't know that. That could have been a bad picture. I think before we claim complete guilt more evidence must be presented...

Leftist teachers? Must be trying to control their hearts and minds...

(From the phrase “When you’ve got them by the B**** their hearts and minds will follow.”)

What better way to indoctrinate children?

We really need to see “more” of the evidence....I’m leaning toward not guilty.

There i a video at the site, but I didn’t watch it to see if it could shed shed any light on the verdict.

But she bought a condom - doesn’t that show responsible behavior, just a little show-and-tell sex-ed.

Where were these kinds of teachers when I was 14??? I remember my 7th grade French teacher - Mrs. Laird. While she seemed “old” at the time, I suppose she really was somewhere in her mid-20s and, to my memory, hot...all the boys liked her.
