OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. – A former Oakland County teacher was charged for allegedly engaging in a sexual relationship with a student.
Former Oakside Prep Academy teacher Jocelyn Sanroman, 26, from Pontiac, allegedly engaged in a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student in 2023.
According to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office, Sanroman told another teacher that she was having sex with the teen. The teacher then informed law enforcement.
“This defendant is accused of using her position of authority to exploit a minor victim,” said Prosecutor Karen McDonald. “These allegations represent the ultimate breach of trust placed in educators by parents and the community. As a former teacher myself, I applaud the teacher who contacted police about this situation, protecting other students from further exploitation.”
Sanroman was charged with third-degree Criminal Sexual Conduct, which is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
