A woman identified as Stephanie Jensen, aged 41, is accused of engaging in sexual activities with a teenage boy whom she had allegedly started flirting with when he was only 12 years old. The teenager stated that Jensen, who worked as a teacher’s aide, initiated flirtatious behavior with him when he was in year eight, knowing his age as she had been his year two teacher. The encounters reportedly escalated to sexual relations when the victim was under 16 years old, and continued until he turned 17.
The incidents are said to have taken place at Faith Lutheran School in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. According to reports, Jensen allegedly exchanged explicit photos with the teenager and even shared nude images with his underage friends. The victim mentioned that word spread among his peers about Jensen’s actions, leading them to add her for similar content.
Upon questioning by authorities at her residence, Jensen denied having engaged in sexual activities with the teenager but admitted to sending explicit images and videos. When informed of her arrest, Jensen allegedly resisted, refusing to stand from the couch, necessitating officers to physically intervene. She has subsequently been charged with possession of child pornography, multiple counts of child enticement, exposing intimate parts of a child, and 2nd-degree sexual assault of a child.
Faith Lutheran School announced the termination of Jensen’s employment following the filing of formal charges. In a statement to WBAY, the school expressed its commitment to the safety and well-being of its students, staff, and community, emphasizing their reliance on faith during these challenging circumstances.
