A former Oakland County charter school teacher convicted of sexually abusing a student has been sentenced, according to court records.<\/p>\n
Jocelynn Sanroman was sentenced Tuesday in Oakland County Circuit Court to 51 months to 15 years in prison.<\/p>\n
Sanroman’s attorney, Colin Thomas McLaughlin, was not immediately available for comment on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Authorities alleged the 27-year-old had sex with a former student she was tutoring while teaching at Oakside Scholars Charter School in Waterford Township in 2023. The male student was 16 at the time.<\/p>\n
Investigators said a colleague reported Sanroman confessed to having sex with the student to the coworker, who alerted school officials. The charter school then contacted the police.<\/p>\n
The Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office announced in June 2025 that it charged Sanroman with three counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct.<\/p>\n
She pleaded guilty <\/a>to the charges in March.<\/p>\n The case follows others in which a teacher was accused of a sex crime.<\/p>\n This month, a former St. Clair County substitute teacher<\/a> pleaded guilty to sexually exploiting minors and receiving child pornography. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 11.<\/p>\n A former Coldwater middle school teacher<\/a> was also charged for allegedly using an artificial intelligence application to alter images of female students into nude photographs.<\/p>\n In January, charges against a Pontiac school teacher<\/a> accused of sexually assaulting a female relative for seven years were dismissed after prosecutors said they could not proceed with the case.<\/p>\n
