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.

Oh, cuz FReepers go over the posts at Free Republic. Best place for it.
My thoughts too.
Something masculine about the eyebrows, nose and jawline.
Well, duh. Because men are always guilty.
over here
And you point is? ;-)
It’s a man, baby.
The jury asks the defendant to stand.
Not guilty!
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.
Let’s not start posting them. They are dirty. Yuk!!!

“Is that a banana in your pocket....?
Because it’s news?
Leftist teachers?
I would not guarantee they are left. The Republicans even conservatives have their share of nasty people. Senators Vitter and Craig are just two names of many.
That’s a MAN Baby!
And yet the official government school of psychology professors refuse to label female sex offenders as "pedophiles" their reasoning being because women's brains are wired differently than males.
I can see why you go by napscoordinator. LOL
Look, what’s worse about men teachers doing the abusing? Abuse is abuse.
Bubby Brister?
So, if a 25 yr old female prostitute accepts a couple hundred bucks from a 14 year old for for "the works", the official gov psych BS line is that it is still OK because the monetary transaction for sex was 'wired' different?
You said:
But she bought a condom - doesn’t that show responsible behavior, just a little show-and-tell sex-ed.
Correction: the article said they bought condoms.
She looks like a “he” to me. Maybe transgendered.
“And yet the official government school of psychology professors refuse to label female sex offenders as “pedophiles” their reasoning being because women’s brains are wired differently than males.”
IMO womens brains are wired differently but evil is as evil does.
My guess for the reason we are seeing so much of this is that public schools and the liberal mindset has children as small people and not children. Therefor the teachers see the children as just shorter and less educated but otherwise no different than themselves.
Whatever happened with protecting our children and helping them to learn in a safe environment?
“Look, what’s worse about men teachers doing the abusing? Abuse is abuse.”
Rape is rape.
