A substitute English teacher in Florida is facing multiple sexual assault charges for allegedly having sex with a student on four separate occasions, after a recording of one of the alleged encounters surfaced on Snapchat. 
Ayanna Davis, 20, was arrested Friday by detectives with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, after a Lakeland Senior High School student notified school resource officers on December 3 of the video, which allegedly showed Davis having sex with another student, police say.   
According to the sheriff’s office, the video was at some point uploaded to the multimedia messaging app and shown to a large group of Lakeland High football players before it came to the school’s attention. Police add that the victim, a boy, was under the age of 17 when the alleged crimes occurred.
The investigation began December 3, after a student informed a resource officer with the Lakeland Police Department about a video on Snapchat that allegedly showed the victim and Davis having sex, and that the video had been shown to a large number of Lakeland High football players, the sheriff’s office said.
After receiving the tip from the unnamed witness, Lakeland police handed the case to the sheriff’s office, determining that Davis’ residence is outside of Lakeland’s city limits, in unincorporated Polk County. 
During her interview Davis allegedly admitted to Polk County detectives that she had had unprotected sex with the student on four separate occasions – twice at his house, and twice at hers, a statement that corroborated information given detectives by the victim, according to the sheriff’s office.  
She had her first appearance on Saturday facing five charges of sexual battery and offenses against students by an authority figure.
She was also served with the initial warrant from the Lakeland Police Department, which charged her with an additional two counts of sexual battery, according to police. 
‘This is a clear violation of sexual battery laws,’ Sheriff Grady Judd said in a statement regarding Davis’ Friday arrest.
‘She was in a position of influence over the victim, and she took advantage of that for her own twisted pleasure.’
Davis had been working at Lakeland High School as a substitute English teacher under the employment of school staffing company Kelly Education, a firm that occasionally recruits substitutes for schools in Polk County. 

Davis was a substitute teacher at Lakeland Senior High School, Polk County, Florida. The school resource officers found out about the alleged misconduct after a student reported the existence of the sex tape

The sheriff’s office noted Davis is not a Polk County Public Schools employee, but a staffer employed at the school through Kelly Educational.
Polk County Public Schools also commented on the scandal, affecting the substitute teacher.
‘We expect substitute teachers to uphold the same high standards of conduct and professionalism as our full-time educators,’ Superintendent Frederick Heid said in a statement from the Polk County Public Schools district.
‘The charges against this person are disgraceful and a complete violation of the trust that teachers build with their students.
‘There is no room in our schools for this type of conduct.’
The district has since ordered that Davis no longer be permitted to work at any of its schools. 
She is currently being held at Polk County Jail, on a $60,000 bond.  
Her arraignment hearing is slated for January 10.
