Teacher/Coach Accused of Affair with Girl Student

(Tampa, Florida) A 28-year-old math teacher at Wharton High School, Jaymee Wallace, turned herself in to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office for booking on one felony count of lewd and lascivious battery. Wallace, who is also the girls' basketball coach, is accused of having a two-year sexual relationship with a female student, now 17. After posting $7,500 bond, Wallace was released.

According to Tampa Police Department spokeswoman Laura McElroy, investigators have notes indicating that Wallace and the student started the relationship when the girl was 14. Police investigators became involved in June after being alerted by a relative of the student.

From a different report, we see a different picture and, frankly, it's hard to tell that both images are the same person.

It's also reported that the alleged affair started in December 2002 and ended in 2004 when Wallace broke off the relationship to get married to a fellow Wharton High School teacher.
