22-year-old woman, who sent inappropriate texts and photos to a 13-year-old boy attending the private middle school where she worked as a gym teacher virtually, was arrested
Florida – In a disturbing breach of trust at a Christian school in Florida, a 22-year-old woman, identified as Y. Ramos, has been arrested after police say she sent inappropriate text messages and photos to a 13-year-old boy attending the school virtually. The case has shocked parents and staff at the private school where Ramos was employed as a gym teacher and has sparked a criminal investigation that could carry serious consequences.
Ramos was arrested on November 26, 2025, and charged with two third-degree felony counts of distributing obscene material to a minor and transmitting harmful material to a minor. If convicted, each charge could bring up to five years in prison. Authorities said the inappropriate communication came to light when the boy’s mother notified law enforcement in mid-October. The mother had reportedly become suspicious of her son’s interactions with the teacher and turned over evidence to the sheriff’s office.
Detectives began an investigation and conducted interviews with both the victim and the suspect. Through text message records and photographs retrieved from the boy’s phone, authorities were able to confirm the communication between Ramos and the 13-year-old. The teacher reportedly admitted during her interview that she had indeed sent the boy a photo and engaged in texting. The victim, who was attending the school virtually, was enrolled in the middle school division of the Christian academy, which is a private K-12 Christian institution with a stated mission to foster academic achievement and godly character. Ramos was working with students remotely in her capacity as a physical education teacher.
Following her arrest, Ramos was booked into the county jail and held on a $10,000 bond. As of now, she has not been released, and no plea has been entered publicly. The sheriff’s office said the investigation remains active and encouraged anyone with knowledge of further misconduct involving Ramos to come forward. “The Sheriff’s Office is dedicated to serving our community and increasing public safety,” the department said in a statement. “Detectives are asking if any other minor children had contact with Ms. Ramos to reach out.”
The school has not issued a public statement regarding the arrest but is expected to review its internal policies concerning staff communication with students, especially in virtual environments where boundaries can more easily be blurred. This case raises broader questions about digital boundaries in school settings and the potential risks students face even when learning remotely. Parents and guardians in the community have voiced concern and outrage, particularly given the school’s faith-based principles. For now, the investigation into Ramos continues, and law enforcement is working to ensure there are no additional victims. The teacher’s court proceedings are expected to begin in the coming weeks.
