Bryan Teet, 47, was arrested by Seminole County deputies Wednesday in an investigation that began with a call to the Florida Abuse Hotline.
The Sheriff's Office says the student told them they began a relationship with Teet earlier this month and had two sexual encounters at a family member's home.
Investigators say they interviewed Teet. According to the arrest report, Teet admitted to being at one of the homes and running out the back doors when someone knocked on the front door. But the report said Teet did not deny or admit to having sexual intercourse.
The report says that and other evidence provided probably cause to arrest Teet.
"Sexual assault has absolutely no place in the Navy or the Citizen Development program. Any reports of alleged misconduct are thoroughly investigated. In this case, the Citizen Development office has suspended the instructors certification and is working closely with the school to support local law enforcement in their investigation of the school district employee," the U.S. Navy said in a released statement.
Teet posted $40,000 bond and is no longer at the Seminole County jail.
