The Times-Dispatch reported that the teacher went to the victim’s house “on several occasions.”

“During the 2022-23 school year, Ms. Jordan was having sexual relations with her 14-year-old student. On several occasions, Ms. Jordan would go to the victim’s house and have sexual intercourse with the student. Her DNA was recovered from his bed linens,” the prosecutor, Taylor, told the newspaper.

The press release from Henrico police said that in early June 2023, the Henrico Police Department “was made aware of potentially inappropriate acts involving an adult acting in a custodial manner with a Henrico County student. An investigation was opened, thoroughly investigated, and remains active.

“From this case, enough information was gathered permitting Henrico County police to seek indictments related to potential sexual acts between an adult and a teen minor,” according to the release.

“The incidents that these charges are related to are believed to have occurred during the 2022-2023 school year. Jordan is a former teacher at Hungary Creek Middle School in Henrico County,” according to the press release.

“Children deserve to learn from teachers, not be the victims of teachers. Grateful for the collaboration of my office and ⁦@HenricoPolice for keeping our children safe at school,” Taylor wrote on X.

Other students opened up on the case on social media, with one saying, “She was my teacher, I knew there was something wrong with her and the student’s relationship,” and another writing, “The student wouldn’t do any of the work and she wouldn’t bat an eye. I noticed subtle flirting and teasing, the tension between them was insane,” DailyMail.com reported.

The school told parents in an email that the matter was “an extremely serious and upsetting situation. We have communicated with families at the school and will continue to support our school community in any way needed,” the outlet reported, adding that the teacher was married in 2021 and was 25 years old at the time of the accusations.

Jordan now faces up to 50 years in prison after the guilty plea, Fox News reported.

“I must recognize the brave action of those who brought this matter to the attention of Henrico Police Division. We are always asking people if they see something unusual, or not quite right, to say something,” Taylor wrote in a statement, according to Fox News, which reported that Jordan was convicted of five felonies. “Because of their efforts, this predator is off the streets, out of our schools, and will be held accountable for her actions.”

Heavy has reached out to Taylor for additional details.

Jordan was arrested in June 2023, according to the News-Advance.
