Orlando Teacher arrested after sexting 11 year old boy

A Florida karate instructor has been accused of sending more than a dozen nude photos to an 11-year-old student and propositioning him for sex.

Stephannie Figueroa, who turned 21 on Sunday, was arrested last week after police in Orlando, Florida, said the child’s mother discovered a series of lewd messages on her son’s cellphone that appeared to have been written by Figueroa. 

Figueroa told the boy that she couldn’t wait for another sleepover at the Next-Gen Xtreme Martial Arts school so she could have sex with him “in a hard way,” according to an arrest report obtained by WFTV.

Figueroa, who police said is an instructor at the school, also allegedly invited the boy to her 21st birthday party, and told him no one else would be at her home, according to the Sentinel. In a related message, sent through the Kik Messenger app, Figueroa allegedly told him: “I want to have sex with you.”

The boy responded with: “OK IDC (I don’t care).”

When the boy's mum learned what was going on, she called the police immediately. She was charged with attempted lewd or lascivious conduct, solicitation and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, showing a minor obscene material, and child abuse, the Orlando Sentinel reported.  Figueroa is now being held without bond at the orange county jail while police investigate whether or not she had other victims.
