WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, MICHIGAN, JUN 25 – Jocelyn Sanroman, 26, faces three counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct for exploiting a student while teaching at a school known for its moral education program, prosecutors said.

  • In 2023, Sanroman allegedly exploited her authority as a teacher at Oakside Prep Academy to engage in a sexual relationship with a minor, violating Michigan law on authority and consent.
  • Sanroman disclosed her sexual relationship to a colleague, who reported it to police, prompting the investigation, according to prosecutors.
  • Sanroman is responsible for a $20,000 personal bond, with a July 10, 2025, hearing; she faces up to 45 years if convicted on all charges.
  • Beyond this case, Michigan has seen rising teacher misconduct reports, driven by social media, poor screening, and boundary violations, highlighting ongoing systemic issues.
