COCOA BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 A late-night lie unraveled a secret relationship, leading to the arrest of a Florida math teacher accused of sexual misconduct with a student.<\/p>\n

Deputies with the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office<\/a> say the investigation began in March when the parents of a student at Cocoa Beach Jr.\/Sr. High School<\/a> reported that they believed their son was having a relationship with his 37-year-old math teacher, Kirsten Rose, after he was late coming home from work one night.<\/p>\n

When the parents checked his location, they reportedly noticed that he was at a home that was unknown to them. When questioned, he said he was at his girlfriend’s house, but didn’t disclose her identity.<\/p>\n

Investigators say continued questioning led the teen to admit he was in a relationship with his teacher.<\/p>\n

Agents with the Special Victims Unit launched an investigation, and deputies say evidence revealed the student and Rose began communicating outside of school through Instagram in November 2025. <\/p>\n

Deputies say those conversations continued into early 2026 and allegedly turned sexual on multiple occasions in February and March.<\/p>\n

Based on the findings, deputies secured an arrest warrant. Rose was booked into the Brevard County Jail on counts of Lewd and Indecent Exposure Offenses against a student by an authority figure and five counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor.<\/p>\n

Rose is currently being held without bond, per court documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"COCOA BEACH, Fla.
