Le Lievre began a relationship with the victim’s mother in October 2023, according to WFLA, an NBC-affiliated TV news channel’s review of the police filing.
The victim attended the same school where Le Lievre taught, and the pair spent time alone in his classroom as well as before and after school, the report states.

When Le Lievre and the victim’s mother ended their relationship the next month, he informed her he had only dated her to “get close to her daughter,” police said.
Le Lievre declined to speak without a lawyer following his arrest.
He has been charged with “custodial s**ual battery” and “s**ual offense by an authority figure soliciting a romantic relationship with a student.”

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrested Sarah Jacas, 32, in June 2025 on multiple counts of lewd or lascivious battery and lewd or lascivious inappropriate advances, as well as a single count of statutory exploitation by an authority figure.
The arrest came after the victim spoke with deputies and alleged that Jacas, a teacher at Corner Lake Middle School, took advantage of him in 2023 when he was 14.

Jacas and the victim began having lunch together in her classroom at the start of the 2022–2023 school year “because he had issues fitting in and associating with the right crowd,” according to a copy of the affidavit for an arrest warrant.
The victim told investigators he and Jacas grew closer during these lunches, but alleged she soon began isolating him from other students.
The victim told deputies that a week before spring break in 2023, Jacas covered the windows of her classroom with active assailant curtains, laid a pillow in the corner, and got intimate with him without protection.
Jacas is awaiting trial after being released on a $19,000 bond following a brief stay in local jail.
Le Lievre, meanwhile, is being held without a bond.
