Female teacher, 27, 'sexually assaulted underage boy in her classroom shortly before cops came to arrest her'

Daily Mail​20-05-2025
A Florida high school teacher was arrested just moments after she allegedly sexually assaulted a boy in her classroom.
Riverview High School teacher Brooke Anderson, 27, was charged with three counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor on Friday.
Police launched an investigation after receiving information about an inappropriate relationship between Anderson and a male student that same day, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
The minor student told police that the relationship began in September 2024 with 'sexually explicit text messages.'
The relationship allegedly escalated in the weeks leading up to her arrest, and the student reported multiple instances of sexual activity.
Police said the most recent incident occurred the morning of her arrest, inside Anderson's classroom before the start of the school day.
'This teacher betrayed the trust of a student, a school, and an entire community,' said Sheriff Chad Chronister.
'What should have been a safe, supportive environment for learning was exploited for abuse. Her actions are criminal, calculated, and deeply disturbing.'

Hillsborough County Public Schools told DailyMail.com Anderson had taught biology in the district since November 2021.
She has been suspended pending termination. The district said she passed all required screenings and background checks before she was hired.
Anderson was a science teacher at Riverview High School, but her name was removed from the school's directory shortly after her arrest, according to People. The Riverview High School Clubs roster also lists her as the school's environmental club sponsor.
Anderson was booked into jail on Friday and then released on Saturday after a judge set her bail at $45,000 - $15,000 for each count of unlawful sexual activity with a minor.
Court records show she has not entered a plea, and it is unclear if she has a lawyer.

Asylum seekers to be removed from Essex hotel as council granted injunction

Asylum seekers will be removed from an Essex hotel after a council was granted a temporary High Court injunction blocking them from being housed there. Epping Forest District Council had asked a judge to issue an interim injunction stopping migrants from being accommodated at the Bell Hotel in Epping. The injunction sought by the council meant the hotel's owner, Somani Hotels Limited, would have had to stop housing asylum seekers there within 14 days. The hotel has been at the centre of a series of protests in recent weeks after an asylum seeker who was staying there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. In a ruling on Tuesday, Mr Justice Eyre granted the temporary injunction, but extended the time limit by which the hotel must stop housing asylum seekers to September 12. He also refused to give Somani Hotels the green light to challenge his ruling, but the company could still ask the Court of Appeal for the go-ahead to appeal against the judgment. In his judgment, he said that while the council had not 'definitively established' that Somani Hotels had breached planning rules, 'the strength of the claimant's case is such that it weighs in favour' of granting the injunction. He continued that the 'risk of injustice is greater' if a temporary injunction was not granted. A further hearing on whether the injunction should be made permanent is expected to be held at a later date, and is expected to last two days. Several protests and counter-protests have been held in the town since a then-resident at the hotel was accused of trying to kiss a teenage girl. Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu has denied charges against him and is due to stand trial later this month. A second man who resides at the hotel, Syrian national Mohammed Sharwarq, has separately been charged with seven offences, while several other men have been charged over disorder outside the hotel. The council said last week it was seeking an injunction due to 'unprecedented levels of protest and disruption' in connection with asylum seeker accommodation. Chris Whitbread, leader of the council, said the situation 'cannot go on' but the Government 'is not listening'. At a hearing on Friday, barristers for the council said that the site's 'sole lawful use' was as a hotel and that Somani Hotels had breached planning rules by using it to house asylum seekers. Philip Coppel KC, for the authority, said the situation was 'wholly unacceptable' and provided a 'feeding ground for unrest'. He said: 'There has been what can be described as an increase in community tension, the catalyst of which has been the use of the Bell Hotel to place asylum seekers.' Mr Coppel continued: 'It is not the asylum seekers who are acting unlawfully. It is the defendant, by allowing the hotel to be used to house asylum seekers.' He added: 'It really could not be much worse than this.' Piers Riley-Smith, for Somani Hotels, said that 'disagreement with Government policy' did not justify a 'draconian' injunction and that there would be 'hardship' caused to the company and those housed at the hotel. He also said that contracts to house asylum seekers were a 'financial lifeline' for the hotel, which was only 1% full in August 2022, when it was open to paying customers. Mr Riley-Smith said: 'It is clear that recent protests have expanded far beyond the local community and have gone into concerns about wider ideological and political issues from those outside the community. 'Those particular ideological, non-community concerns are not relevant to planning.' Following the ruling, Mr Whitbread said: 'I am delighted. This is great news for our residents. The last few weeks have placed an intolerable strain on our community but today we have some great news.' He continued: 'Home Office policy ignores the issues and concerns of local residents that the council represents. 'Today we have made a step towards redressing the imbalance and showing that local people do have some say, whatever the Home Office thinks.' Before judgment was handed down on Tuesday, barristers for the Home Office asked to intervene in the case, citing the 'substantial impact' caused to the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, in performing her legal duties to asylum seekers. Edward Brown KC, for the department, told the court that moving asylum seekers in 'extremely short order' would cause a 'very significant operational burden' and 'particular acute difficulties' for the Government. But Mr Justice Eyre dismissed the Home Office's bid, stating that the department's involvement was 'not necessary'.

Evil mum filmed boyfriend raping woman then threatened to share footage unless victim handed over £5k in blackmail plot

A VILE mum filmed her boyfriend raping a woman then threatened to share the footage unless she handed over £5,000. The victim had no idea she had been sexually assaulted until Indre Bruziene sent her the twisted video. 2 It showed Vasile Raducanu, 33, "choreographing" the attack by "moving" the victim as Bruziene, 40, filmed through a window. Bruziene demanded the woman send £5,000 or she would share it with her family. The fiend also sent two photographs to the woman to add to her "degradation and humiliation". But the brave victim refused to pay the money and instead called the police. Radacanu, who is Romanian, and Bruziene, from Lithuania, have now been jailed for a total of 15 years and nine months. Maidstone Crown Court heard in September 2020, the sick couple invited the victim to their home in Kent. They plied her with alcohol before Raducanu raped her while she unconscious and unable to consent. The woman woke the next morning in her own bed with no recollection of what had happened to her. On March 15, 2021, she received a call from Bruziene who accused the woman of breaking up her family. Bruziene then sent her the horrific footage and demanded £5,000 or it would be sent to the victim's husband. The woman informed her family before contacting the police - leading to the twisted couple's arrest. In a victim impact statement, the woman said: "I didn't know what to do. I felt ashamed. I was emotionally devastated. "When I found out about this incident I couldn't sleep for a long time….I kept thinking about the incident, trying to understand what had happened. "The fact I don't remember what happened that night troubles me deeply. I try to recall it but I can't and that causes me constant distress." Radacanu was jailed for 12 years and six months for two counts of rape, one of attempted rape and two counts of sexual assault. Bruziene, who was found guilty of blackmail, was sentenced to three years and three months in prison. Detective Constable Hollie Brown said: "The criminal actions of Radacanu and Bruziene were unspeakably vile as they took advantage of a vulnerable victim who was not aware of what was happening to her. "As soon as the victim received the video of her abuse from Bruziene she showed great courage in disclosing her ordeal to her family and then contacting the police. "Detectives then swiftly secured the offenders phones and they have now, quite rightly, been brought to justice." 2
