Summary
Palm Bay police arrested Michelle Lynn Hancock, 41, after finding her in a pickup truck with a 17-year-old boy, where both allegedly admitted they had engaged in sexual activity.
Six charges followed, including sexual battery by an authority figure, using a computer to solicit a child, traveling to meet a child after luring him online, and transmitting harmful material to a minor.
Authorities said Hancock met the teen while teaching his older brother at Heritage High School; the boy later visited her at school, where he said they kissed in her classroom.
Police said the relationship resumed about a month ago through renewed texting and sexually explicit photos, and Hancock is now held in Brevard County jail on $525,000 bond.
Brevard Public Schools said Hancock no longer works for the district and called the allegations deeply troubling, underscoring the case's impact on school safety concerns.
