Florida Teacher Accused of Sex with Boy

(St. Lucie County, Florida) A 29-year-old teacher at Mariposa Elementary School, Quotaysha Jones, has been accused of engaging in sex with a teen boy.

Jones was arrested on a felony sexual assault-related charge.

Detectives began investigating Quotaysha Jones of Port St. Lucie after getting information she was having an “inappropriate relationship” with a boy who was in the St. Lucie County jail, according to an arrest report.

They reviewed video recordings of 39 visits between Jones and the teen. It became clear to detectives the two were having a romantic relationship, and their conversations included sexual innuendo and topics such as getting married, according to the report.

Detectives then separately interviewed Jones and the boy. While Jones told them her relationship with the boy is platonic, the boy said he and Jones were in a dating relationship, according to the report.

The boy, now 17, told detectives he and Jones were having sex for about a year after he turned 16 and had sex four to six times during that period, according to the report.

Jones was booked into custody at the St. Lucie County Jail.
