A Florida middle school teacher was arrested on Thursday after she allegedly had sexual contact with a 15-year-old boy at a graduation party.

Leslie Bushart, 49, was a teacher at Lake Gibson Middle School near Lakeland, Florida. According to a press release from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, Bushart was attending a graduation party for the victim’s older sister on June 6 when the incident happened.

According to the Sheriff’s release, Bushart told cops that she and the boy had walked away from the crowd. “She attempted to smoke marijuana, but was so drunk that she couldn’t get it lit,” the release alleges. “At that point she began performing oral sex on the victim.”

Then, according to the release, Bushart and the boy rejoined the party — and the teacher talked about what had happened.

“Bushart told another person at that party that she had just performed oral sex on the teenage victim,” the release says. “That person then informed the mother of the victim. The mother confronted Bushart, who then quickly left the party.”
