Even for Florida, this is pretty bad.

An elementary school teacher is under arrest after sending sexually explicit photos to a student at the school. While the student’s exact age has not been disclosed, the school only goes up to 5th grade so he is likely no older than 12.

28-year-old Tara Milton Roberts began sending the student friendly texts, but according to WZVN things escalated quickly. Using the KIK app, she sent the student several photos of herself in very little clothing, and the sheriff’s office says that “the student knew it was Tara Roberts because he recognized her white iPhone.”

She was arrested and charged with Cruelty Towards a Child/Transmitting information harmful to minors. She made her first court appearance this morning and is currently being held on $20,000 bond.
