Teacher accused of having sex with student, 16, then bragging about it to a colleague
Jocelynn Sanroman, 26, of Pontiac, was arrested on Monday over accusations she had a sexual relationship with the teen boy, who was a student at Oakside Prep Academy charter school about 30 miles outside of Detroit, in August 2023.
She was charged with three counts of criminal sexual conduct with a student in the third degree.
Sanroman was busted after telling a co-worker, who turned around and reported her to authorities, the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office said.
Prosecutor Karen McDonald said in a statement: 'This defendant is accused of using her position of authority to exploit a minor victim.
'These allegations represent the ultimate breach of trust placed in educators by parents and the community.
'As a former teacher myself, I applaud the teacher who contacted police about this situation, protecting other students from further exploitation.'
Sanroman was arraigned on Monday and is expected to appear before a judge for a probable cause hearing on July 10.
The teacher was booked into jail the same day and released on a $20,000 bond, records show. She faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
'At this time, we would like to emphasize that our client is presumed innocent,' one of her lawyers, Colin McLaughlin, told DailyMail.com. 'We very much look forward to having our day in court.'

Delta airlines employee stole an iPad left on plane by child and used it to upload explicit videos of himself, suit claims
A South Carolina couple filed a federal lawsuit against Delta Air Lines after discovering sexually explicit videos on their child's lost iPad that were allegedly recorded by an airline worker. Tory and Brooke Brewer came across the graphic content that had been saved in the family's iCloud account, according to the lawsuit filed July 16 in the U.S. District Court in Charleston. According to the lawsuit, the family took a Delta flight from Charleston to New York City's John F. Kennedy international airport on July 19, 2023, before connecting to a flight to London. After they had arrived in London, they realized they had left behind their child's iPad with a Peppa Pig case on the plane, in the seat pocket. The child's mother then began receiving random messages about the missing device so she used the 'Find My' app, and tracked the iPad to Queens/Jamaica, New York. Although her Apple ID had been logged out, photos continued to sync to the iCloud account, which included selfies of a man wearing a Delta uniform and a visible name badge. His name was not revealed in the lawsuit. On July 20, 2023, the family filed a lost item report with Delta. Between the time of the first report and August 27, the Brewers never received a response from the airline worker. Then on August 27, pornographic videos began appearing in Brewer's iCloud account. The videos allegedly show the same man from the selfies masturbating while still wearing his Delta uniform and name badge. 'What should have been a fun family getaway was riddled with confusion and anxiety over unauthorized access to their personal devices, a breach of privacy, and the transmission of highly inappropriate, explicit video recordings sent through their child's personal devices – something they never would have expected,' the family's attorney, Tola Familoni, said in the lawsuit. The Brewers learned that the man had used the iPad to access Brooke Brewer's iTunes account and create his own personal profile. He also managed to get into the Brewers' Amazon account and created a profile titled 'Gay' that one of the couple's young children discovered and alerted them to. In the lawsuit, the Brewers say they are seeking damages and accountability, claiming Delta failed to respond meaningfully to their concerns before the suit was filed. They accuse Delta of negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, harassment, and other claims stemming from the incident. A statement from Delta said: 'The accused individual is not a Delta employee but one of a vendor company' that it did not identify. Delta said in its statement that the airline has 'zero tolerance for unlawful behavior of any kind but will decline to comment further on this pending litigation.' A second report was filed with Delta, according to the lawsuit. The family says Delta failed to acknowledge the first report and responded to the second with an automated, 'no reply' email. 'We would have hoped, if not publicly, at least personally they would have acknowledged their role and responsibility for what happened to this family,' Familoni told The Guardian. 'We hope that Delta will step up and take responsibility, speak to the family, and acknowledge their wrongdoing.'

Victims of Reno casino shooting include 2 men visiting for a bachelor party, police say
Two of the three people killed this week in a shooting outside the largest casino in Reno, Nevada, were 23-year-old men in town celebrating a bachelor party and the third victim was a 66-year-old man who lived in the area, authorities said. The suspect, who is in critical condition after being shot by police, was identified Tuesday as Dakota Hawver, a 26-year-old Reno resident. Investigators have found no connections between Hawver and the Grand Sierra Resort or any of the victims, according to police in the neighboring town of Sparks who are leading the investigation. They said the motive is still unknown. Two other people wounded in Monday's shooting remained hospitalized but were expected to make a full recovery, police said in a statement Tuesday. Justin Aguila and Andrew Canepa, both 23 years old and from Southern California, were fatally shot from behind while waiting in the casino's valet area for a ride to the airport, officials said. They had been visiting with a group of friends for a bachelor party. Angel Martinez, a 66-year-old Reno resident, was driving his car through the parking lot when he was shot and killed by the suspect, who had been hiding behind a parked vehicle, police said. Investigators determined Hawver used multiple magazines and fired approximately 80 rounds from a 9mm handgun that he had legally purchased two years ago. He has no criminal record and no history of mental health problems, officials said Tuesday. The investigation is ongoing. The shooting occurred around 7:30 a.m. Monday, when the gunman walked up to the valet area, pulled out the gun and pointed it at a group of people, police said. His weapon initially malfunctioned, but he was quickly able to get it to shoot multiple times before running through the parking lot, where he encountered an armed casino security guard. The gunman opened fire on the guard, who returned fire as the shooter fled again before being shot by police and arrested, police said Monday. In addition to those who were killed and the people taken to the hospital, three others were treated for minor injuries at the casino, according to Devon Reese, chair of the Board of Health in northern Nevada. One person was grazed by a bullet on their pinky finger, one was treated for severe anxiety and one was injured while running, he said Monday. The Grand Sierra Resort, one of Reno's most prominent venues, has hosted concerts, sporting events and a campaign rally by President Donald Trump before the 2024 election. Near the California border and just northeast of Lake Tahoe, the town is a popular summer tourist destination. The resort claims to have the biggest casino floor in northern Nevada and sits just a few blocks from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. It's also one of the tallest buildings in the city, with nearly 2,000 hotel rooms.

Minnesota judge with 'explosive' temper faces probe after 'threatening to duct tape juvenile suspect'
A Minnesota judge is facing an internal probe for her allegedly explosive temper after she was accused of threatening to duct tape a juvenile suspect. Judge Jennifer Fischer's judgeship could be revoked after the Minnesota Board of Judicial Standards filed a formal complaint against her on July 23. According to the complaint, the board has received several complaints about the judge, including one in which she is accused of telling a juvenile suspect: 'Do you want me to get the duct tape out?' She is also accused in the complaint of claiming that another judge was secretly hiding an opioid addiction by saying she was taking migraine medication. It was also claimed that the judge called a public defender 'severely mentally ill' and spoke of sexually explicit topics with staff. Court staff told investigators that Fischer has 'erratic, explosive, and unpredictable behavior' that she displays inside the courtroom. The investigator concluded that Fischer's actions 'constituted sexual harassment.' Staff also told investigators that the judge had 'spoken about discontinuing use of prescribed medication for mental health issues in an effort to manage issues on her own,' the complaint stated. Fischer also recused herself from a hearing if a particular law or law office were involved in the cases, including Meeker County and Litchfield City Attorneys' Offices and public defender Carter Greiner, whom she had made complaints against. Fischer, who has been serving the eighth district since 2013, has denied the allegations against her. 'Judge Fischer has not failed to execute her duties and has not failed to cooperate,' she wrote in her response to the complaint. 'Judge Fischer has always served the people of the Eighth Judicial District with integrity, fairness and an unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law. 'Throughout her judicial career Judge Fischer has been guided by the principles of justice and the duty to protect and defend the constitution so that its protections are available to all people coming before her court.' She also defended her accusations that a judge had an opioid addiction, stating that she had a 'genuine concern' for her and 'engaged in appropriate and good faith action[s].' Fischer also said in her response that the sexual harassment claims against her were retaliation for speaking up about her own incident in 1996. '[She] has faced systemic retaliation since her appointment to the bench in 2013,' she wrote in her response. 'While Judge Fischer's offender in 1996 was allowed to rehabilitate and become Chief Judge in the 8th District, Judge Fischer is being asked to accept public reprimand or leave the bench entirely,' she wrote. She also revealed she has PTSD and had been ruled fit enough to serve the bench in September 2022. She also accused the chief judge of discriminating against her medical accommodations by changing her schedule in a manner that was 'disruptive to the whole district and outside the scope of her authority.' However, the complaint alleged that by taking herself off cases that had certain attorneys or county attorneys' offices Fischer significantly reduced her work. By early February, she was not presiding over any criminal cases, and by late April, she had no cases. 'Her duties consist of administrative duties, such as research and writing,' the complaint said. Fischer concluded by asking for the complaint to be dismissed.
