A former Wisconsin teacher’s aide is facing charges after police say she sexually assaulted a teen she began flirting with when he was 12.
According to the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office, Stephanie Jensen is facing charges that include:
- Child enticement (2 counts)
- Sexual assault of a child
- Sexual intercourse with a child (3 counts)
Jensen became “flirty” with the child while she worked as a second-grade classroom aide at the Faith Lutheran School in Fond du Lac. At the time, the victim was in eight grade at the school.
A criminal complaint obtained by WBAY indicated that the victim told police that shortly before his 16th birthday, in September 2024, he had sex with Jensen. He said he remembered because it had been right before he obtained his driver’s license.
The victim said he had sex with Jensen several times, and that she sent him nude photos via Snapchat.
“Victim 1 mentioned Stephanie JENSEN was not only sending him nude pictures, but that she was sending his buddies nude content as well,” the complaint read.
“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.”
On November 4, when detectives questioned Jensen, she denied the allegations, but reportedly admitted to sending him nude photos.
While trying to arrest Jensen, she refused to get up from her couch, claiming, “I am not under arrest.” A detective lifted her up by the arm and handcuffed her.
KFOX reports that the school’s principal, Benjamin Rank, confirmed Monday that the school had terminated her.
A judge handed down a $200,000 cash bond and ordered Jensen to not contact the victim, or any other minors. The court also ordered her to refrain from social media.
She’s expected back in court Tuesday. Check back for updates.
