A Florida science teacher has been arrested accused of trying to seduce her 12-year-old student with lewd texts and a stolen kiss.

Andrea Jimenez, 47, is said to have repeatedly messaged the boy, now 13, on social media, telling him she loved him and to not message girls his own age.

Jimenez is even said to have given him expensive gifts and became 'aggressively romantic in an obsessive tone', according to an affidavit.

She is accused of grabbing the boy's face when he was just 12 and trying to kiss him at Doral International Math & Science Academy, near Miami.
