SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 Newly obtained video by Local 10 News shows the moments a Seminole County teacher was taken into custody by deputies on sex and drug charges. <\/p>\n
The arrest came after a former student came forward and told law enforcement about several disturbing incidents. <\/p>\n
That teacher, identified by investigators as 49-year-old Mackenzie McLean, was arrested last month. <\/p>\n
The former student, who is now 19 years old, told deputies McLean started making sexual advances toward him at her home one night, days after he moved in, investigators said. <\/p>\n
The victim told law enforcement McLean gave him around a dozen shots of gin, and moments later she forced him to have sex with her, authorities said. <\/p>\n
He then pushed her off of him and told her it was wrong, according to authorities.<\/p>\n
Several days after the first incident, the victim told deputies McLean started preforming oral sex on the victim.<\/p>\n
A friend of the teenager also told deputies McLean\u2019s home was a place where high school kids hung out and were given alcohol and marijuana edibles.<\/p>\n
Investigators also obtained screenshots of text messages that they say were sent by McLean where she reportedly admitted that she had a sexual relationship with the victim and knew it was wrong.<\/p>\n
In the messages, McLean allegedly said, \u201cI intentionally never initiated anything because I didn\u2019t want to make him feel any kind of way,\u201d and \u201cI told myself each time that it wouldn\u2019t happen again and I would say no. But then I let it happen again,\u201d according to the report. <\/p>\n
Jail records show McLean is facing felony charges, including engaging in sexual conduct with a student as an authority figure and distribution of controlled substances.<\/p>\n
She remains behind bars in the Seminole County Jail as of Tuesday afternoon on a $35,000 bond.<\/p>\n
The Seminole County School District told Orlando affiliate WKMG that she was placed on administrative leave as soon as the district was notified. <\/p>\n
McLean is set to be arraigned on March 31.<\/p>\n
