An accusation has emerged against a teaching assistant who is suspected of engaging in sexual activities with a teenage boy after engaging in flirtatious communication with him when he was 12 years old.
Stephanie Jensen, aged 41, allegedly disclosed to investigators that she met the boy when he was 12 years old and started to exhibit “flirty” behavior towards him while working as a teacher’s aide. The alleged victim stated that Jensen was aware of his age as she taught him in second grade when he was in eighth grade, and they would frequently encounter each other at school.
The boy claimed that he had intimate relations with Jensen in September 2024, before he turned 16 years old, citing his lack of a driver’s license as proof. Allegedly, Jensen engaged in sexual activities with him on four other occasions from when he was 15 to 17 years old.
The alleged encounters took place at Faith Lutheran School in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, as reported by WBAY. The victim alleged that Jensen sent him explicit photos during that time and also claimed that she shared nude images with his underage friends.
According to a complaint obtained by the network, “Victim 1 mentioned Stephanie Jensen was not only sending him nude pictures, but that she was sending his buddies nude content as well. Victim 1 said word travelled throughout his friend group that she was willing to share so people he knew would add her to see what she would share with them.”
When questioned by detectives at her residence, Jensen denied having engaged in sexual activities with the teenager but admitted to sending explicit photos and videos, as per the complaint.
Upon being informed of her arrest, Jensen reportedly responded, “I am not under arrest,” and resisted standing up from the couch. Officers had to assist her in standing up, and she allegedly struggled as they attempted to handcuff her until they ordered her to stop.
Jensen has been charged with possession of child pornography, multiple counts of child enticement, exposing intimate parts of a child, and second-degree sexual assault of a child.
In response, Faith Lutheran School announced via WBAY: “Faith Lutheran School has terminated the employment of Stephanie Jensen following the filing of formal charges in court on Monday. The school’s faculty, staff, and administration prioritize the safety and well-being of students, staff, families, and the community. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by these events as we continue to rely on faith and trust in the Lord.”
