Florida Teacher and Male Student, 16

(Volusia County, Florida) A 26-year-old teacher formerly at University High School, Stephanie Cobb, has been accused of engaging in sex with a 16-year-old male student.

Cobb faces a charge of second-degree unlawful sexual activity with a minor.

Authorities began investigating Cobb, 26, on Dec. 13, when a woman called to report that a friend was sending her suicidal text messages, officials said. The anonymous call — during which the woman gave the teen's name, age and phone number — was traced to Cobb's cell phone, sheriff's deputies say.

Deputies met with the teen, who denied feeling suicidal. However, family members told investigators the teen was in a relationship and was "in over his head."[…]

The Sheriff's Office said the teen admitted to the relationship in an interview with detectives, and said he'd had sex with Cobb inside her car at a Deltona park.

Cobb was booked into custody at the Volusia County Jail and subsequently released on $25,000 bond.
