A woman, Stephanie Jensen, is accused of engaging in sexual activities with a teenage boy after exchanging flirtatious messages with him when he was only 12 years old. Jensen reportedly admitted to investigators that she started flirting with the victim when he was 12 years old and she was working as a teacher’s aide. The victim claimed that Jensen was aware of his age as she taught in his school when he was in eighth grade, and they frequently interacted on campus.
The alleged incidents of sexual activity between Jensen and the victim occurred in September 2024, before the victim turned 16 and obtained a driver’s license. According to the victim, there were multiple encounters between the ages of 15 and 17. The encounters reportedly took place at Faith Lutheran School in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The victim also disclosed that Jensen sent him nude photos during that time and allegedly shared explicit content with his underage friends.
A complaint document obtained by a news outlet revealed that the victim mentioned Jensen not only sent him explicit images but also shared them with his friends. Jensen refuted claims of engaging in sexual activities with the teenager when questioned by detectives at her residence but acknowledged sending explicit photos and videos.
Upon being informed of her arrest, Jensen reportedly denied the situation and resisted standing up from her couch. Law enforcement officers had to assist her in standing up, and she allegedly resisted when they tried to handcuff her until they ordered her to stop. Jensen is now facing charges including possession of child pornography, child enticement, exposing intimate parts of a child, and second-degree sexual assault of a child.
Faith Lutheran School confirmed that Jensen’s employment was terminated upon formal charges being filed. The school expressed its commitment to the safety and well-being of its students, staff, and community members. They extended prayers for all those affected by the events and emphasized their reliance on faith during this challenging time.
