Florida (USA) - She was supposed to impart knowledge to her students, but instead a teacher started an affair with a teenager!

Brooke Anderson (27) taught science at a school in the US state of Florida - until a few days ago.

As People reported, she was arrested and charged on Friday with three counts of illicit sexual intercourse with a pupil.

She is said to have started exchanging explicit messages with one of her protégés as early as last September.

But in recent weeks, her relationship had "escalated" and several sexual acts had taken place.

During questioning, the teenager in question stated that the two had intimate moments in a classroom just hours before the police arrived.

Brooke Anderson is currently in custody. If she is found guilty, she could face up to 15 years in prison.
