- Lake Howell High teacher accused of sex with student
- Jaclyn Truman turned herself in Thursday, deputies say
- Girl told deputies she'd been in relationship with Truman
Jaclyn Marie Truman was employed at Lake Howell High School, a Seminole County Sheriff's Office arrest report states.
According to the report, an investigator met with a girl at Hagerty High School on the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 4. The girl reported that she'd been in a sexual relationship with Truman for about two months starting in March 2016. The girl said she was 15 at the time.
On Thursday, deputies interviewed Truman at her home in east Orange County. She turned herself in to the sheriff's office that evening, the report states.
Truman was booked into the John E. Polk Correctional Facility in Sanford. She faces two counts of lewd and lascivious behavior on a minor between 12-16 years old; bond was set at $40,000, and she bonded out Friday afternoon.
Investigators think Truman might have had relationships with other minors. School district records state she was employed at Lyman High School from Novembewr 2005 to October 2008, when she took a position at Asbury Theological Seminary as Coordinator for Mentored and Pastoral Counseling that lasted until December 2013. From November 2015 to May 2017, she was at Hagerty High, and she started at Lake Howell in August.
She has no previous criminal history or employee misconduct. She was placed on administrative leave Oct. 2, when the school district was notified by child protective services of the allegations.
Truman submitted a resignation letter late last month, which took effect today, according to the school district.
