Jennifer Tarkenton was a special education teacher at Greenwood Lakes Middle School in Lake Mary. Deputies said they caught her in the middle of having sex with a young boy in her car.Authorities said there's enough evidence to convince them a 14-year-old student at Greenwood Lakes had just finished having sex with his teacher, 34-year-old Jennifer Tarkenton, when deputies interrupted them Thursday night.Covered up with a hat, jacket and sunglasses, Tarkenton had nothing to say when she got out of jail Friday, but investigators said the teacher from Lake Mary could not hide what she was doing with a 14-year-old student from Greenwood Lakes Middle School.A neighbor spotted them in a parked car on a dead end street in Lake Mary on Thursday night and called authorities."It looked like a typical case of two lovers that may be parking in a particular area," said Lt. Dennis Lemma, Seminole County Sheriff's Office.At first, deputies did not know what they had when they spotted the car at the end of Banana Lake Road, but they soon discovered Tarkenton inside with her 14-year-old student and deputies said both were sweating.Authorities said the boy eventually told investigators he just had sex with his teacher."Sick, just can't believe it," said parent Ken Moore.Parents picking kids from school were just beginning to learn some of the details. Investigators said they still don't know how long the relationship between Tarkenton and her student may have been going on."We still don't know how many sexual encounters this woman has had with this student. We don't know if there are other victims that are out there," Lt. Dennis Lemma, Seminole County Sheriff's Office.Tarkenton faces three counts of molesting a child under 15, but investigators said they don't have any reason to believe other children were involved.The school district said Tarkenton was suspended with pay pending an investigation. Administrators said she had been teaching there less than a year.
