SANFORD, Fla. \u2014 A judge has ordered a teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with a former student to be on a GPS ankle monitor if she posts bond to get out of jail.<\/p>\n
49-year-old Mackenzie McLean was gasping when he told her the amount of the bond to get out of jail. \u201c$15,000 first two and then $5,000 distribution of controlled substance.\u201d<\/p>\n
She\u2019s charged with a sex offense by an authority figure as well as distribution of drugs; the alleged acts happened in her Lake Mary home.<\/p>\n
Neighbor William Teasley says, \u201cIt\u2019s very shocking, you know, very sad.\u201d Shocking to see texts from Mclean admitting to a sexual relationship with a student. She teaches economics at Crooms Academy.<\/p>\n
A witness shared screenshots with investigators.<\/p>\n
One text says, \u201cI told myself each time that it wouldn\u2019t happen and again and I would say no. But then I let it happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Teasley told us, \u201cIf you look at the blinds, they have all the windows taped up, sealed off, blankets covering the windows, so it\u2019s almost like they are trying to hide something.\u201d<\/p>\n
Records show the alleged acts happened when the victim was 18 years old and attending high school in 2024. The victim moved in with the suspect after being kicked out of his home.<\/p>\n
A witness described Mclean\u2019s home as a hangout for high school kids.<\/p>\n
According to the arrest report, Mclean \u201cGroomed the student by buying him and other student\u2019s alcohol, weed and other substances.\u201d Teasley says, \u201cThere was one night where I did hear and see a bunch of people kind of getting rowdy.\u201d<\/p>\n
A witness told investigators when they decided to move out of the house, McLean was screaming, had a knife and was cutting herself.<\/p>\n
Teasley says she never drove a car, \u201cThere was always random people picking her up, dropping her off. \u201cAccording to the report, the victim would drive Mclean to school because she didn\u2019t have a driver\u2019s license. Records show it was suspended.<\/p>\n
The judge told McLean, \u201cDo not return to Crooms academy or any campus in Seminole County.\u201d<\/p>\n
