Stanton was detained after an investigation by the department’s Special Victims Unit, and is charged with single counts of felony lewd and lascivious battery and felony transmitting harmful materials to a minor.

It was unclear Friday if she has entered pleas to the charges, and PEOPLE was unable to determine if she has retained an attorney who could comment on her behalf.

She was released on $12,000 bond and efforts to reach her were unsuccessful Friday.

According to a statement from the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office, investigators were contacted by administrators at Citrus County High School after they heard about the allegations.

Detectives spoke to the alleged victims, and one, who is 15, claimed that Stanton — who was employed as a short-term substitute — had performed oral sex on him.

Other alleged victims alleged to police they were sent several nude photos of Stanton, which she shared through the popular phone app SnapChat.

Police allege she was active on social media, sending public messages to several of the school’s student-athletes.

Stanton spoke to police, and police allege “several statements made by Stanton corroborated the specific details given by the victim.”

“Stanton was a trusted community member who was heavily involved in activities working with our county’s youth,” reads a statement from Sheriff Mike Prendergast. “She used her position to prey on the vulnerability of our children.

“No parent should ever have to worry about their child being victimized like this; especially from someone they viewed as a mentor,” Prendergast added. “We will continue to work with the Citrus County School Board to determine if there are any additional victims.”
