A former middle school teacher from Florida was arrested after authorities say she engaged in a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old student for several months.

During the course of the relationship, Stephanie Ferri sent nude photos to the teen and brought him marijuana and pipes to smoke it, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said. The student, an eighth-grader at a middle school in New Smyrna Beach, Florida., just outside of Dayton, told detectives that Ferri used to bring him to her house late at night, when her husband was at work, and drive the teen back home after they’d had sex.

Detectives believe the relationship started in November 2017. The teen said that Ferri warned him not to tell anyone and that his grades suffered after the relationship began.

Ferri, 26, has been charged with two counts of lewd or lascivious battery and one count of transmission of harmful materials to a minor.

Detectives found out about the alleged relationship on Tuesday, after the boy told his parents about it, the sheriff’s office said. According to a charging affidavit, one of the boy’s parents had received a call from a male teacher asking if he could mentor the teen. The parent thought that the call was strange and jokingly asked the teen if the teacher was going to molest him.

“Anyone could molest you,” the teen said, as he began crying.

According to the affidavit, the parent immediately suspected Ferri, saying the boy visited her classroom every day and she often bought him food from McDonald’s. The teen then told his parents that he had been sneaking out around 11 p.m. at night, when Ferri would drive him to her house a few miles away in Edgewater, Fla., to have sex. filed for divorce in February.

The relationship appears to have started through messages on social media. Ferri was arrested Wednesday and is being held on a $25,000 bond.
