Ex-Indiana Christian School Teacher Gets 40 Days After Plea in Child Seduction Case

A second sentencing in Marion County remains pending in the same investigation.

Overview

  • Torrie Lemon pleaded guilty Thursday to child seduction and received 40 days in jail followed by 1,420 days of probation.
  • Lemon also faces two related counts in Marion County, with a separate sentencing scheduled in that case.
  • Investigators say the 24-year-old had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student that included sex at her apartment on school grounds.
  • The conduct came to light during an April 2025 school trip to South Carolina after another student found explicit texts, and Lemon then told police she had an inappropriate relationship.
  • Court records underscore that Indiana treats sexual contact between school employees and students as child seduction even though the general age of consent is 16.
