A woman identified as Stephanie Jensen, 41, is accused of engaging in sexual activities with a teenage boy, starting when he was 12 years old, allegedly sending flirtatious messages to him. Jensen reportedly admitted to becoming “flirty” with the victim when he was 12, while she worked 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 would encounter each other on school grounds.
According to the victim, the sexual encounter with Jensen occurred in September 2024, before he turned 16 and got his driver’s license. Allegedly, there were four more instances of sexual activity between them from the age of 15 to 17.
The incidents are said to have taken place at Faith Lutheran School in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, as reported by WBAY. The victim stated that Jensen sent him explicit photos during that period and allegedly shared nude images with his underage friends as well.
A complaint obtained by the network revealed that Jensen was accused of sending nude photos not only to the victim but also to his friends. The victim mentioned that word spread among his peers about Jensen’s actions, prompting them to add her to see what she would share.
When questioned by detectives at her residence, Jensen denied having sexual relations with the teenager but reportedly admitted to sending explicit photos and videos. Upon being informed of her arrest, Jensen allegedly contested it, refusing to stand from the couch. Officers had to physically assist her to stand, and she resisted when they attempted to handcuff her until ordered to stop.
Subsequently, Jensen has been charged with possession of child pornography, multiple counts of child enticement, exposing intimate body parts to a child, and second-degree sexual assault of a child.
Faith Lutheran School announced the termination of Stephanie Jensen’s employment following the filing of formal charges. The school emphasized its commitment to the safety and well-being of its students, staff, families, and community, expressing prayers for all those impacted by the situation while upholding faith and trust in God.
