Florida Teacher Arrested on Charges He Groomed and Assaulted 13-Year-Old Student

He remains jailed without bond pending a case built on alleged grooming through school access.

Overview

  • Daniel Le Lievre, 41, was arrested at his Oviedo home Monday and booked into the Seminole County Jail with no bond.
  • He is charged with custodial sexual battery and a sex offense by an authority figure, with online court records listing sexual assault by a custodian counts.
  • Investigators say he manipulated school systems to place the girl in his classes, kept a desk drawer for her with blankets and perfume, taught her Morse code, used throwaway emails, and set up a bank and secret phone account.
  • Police reports say he dated the girl’s mother from October 2023 to January 2024 to reach the child, with the alleged sexual assault occurring at his home during the 2023–24 winter break after nights the family stayed over.
  • Seminole County Public Schools says it investigated in 2024, he resigned midyear and is not eligible for rehire, and the criminal case continues with further details limited because the victim is a minor.
