Stacy Lorena Cabral, 23, of Greenacres had served as a substitute teacher in Palm Beach County for two years prior to her arrest.

A 23-year-old Greenacres woman employed the past two school years as a substitute teacher in Palm Beach County allegedly had an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old student, according to an arrest report.

Stacy Lorena Cabral was arrested Thursday morning and is accused of engaging in sexual conduct with the teenager and exchanging explicit photos and videos, the report said.

Cabral served as a day-to-day substitute teacher from September 19, 2017 through Wednesday, the day before her arrest, according to a schools spokeswoman.

Authorities were notified of the relationship after the teenager's mother found "sexually suggestive" texts and photos between Cabral and the child, the report said. Cabral worked as a substitute teacher at the high school attended by the teenager and was hired by the child's mother as a tutor in May. A few days later, the mother found the test messages and photos.

The high school where Cabral taught and the teenager attended are blacked out in the arrest report.

After informing Cabral on May 17 that her tutoring services were no longer needed, the reports states the mother received a text from Cabral apologizing while promising to quit her teacher's job and stay away from her child. Wrote Cabral: "I am unfit as far as teaching goes. I don't want to inform you that I never conducted myself this way before (not that it excuses my behavior) but there has never been another child and there never will be."

At about 1 a.m. May 24, the mother observed a call on her child's phone, the report said. The woman went to Cabral's home where she found the teenager.

The child told the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office of having "feelings" for the teacher and that the two and believed they could "date" under state law, the report said.
