Michigan Teacher Gets 4 to 15 Years for Sex With 16-Year-Old Student She Tutored

The case underscores Michigan rules that bar sex between teachers and 16-year-old students despite general consent laws.

Overview

  • Jocelyn Sanroman, 27, who pleaded guilty in March to third-degree criminal sexual conduct, was sentenced Tuesday to four to 15 years in Oakland County Circuit Court.
  • The judge said she recorded the sex at the boy’s home and called the conduct “disgusting.”
  • The encounters occurred in 2023 while she taught at Oakside Prep Academy, and the case surfaced after she told a coworker who then alerted police.
  • Sanroman must register on Michigan’s sex offender list for life after she leaves prison.
  • The boy’s mother said he grew withdrawn and moved to online classes, describing a loss of routine and safety that continues to affect their family.
