"Desperate Teachers of Florida," Episode #459

October 23, 2008 - Cynthia Horvath, 45, a teacher at Warner Christian Academy, was arrested, accused of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student between June and September. She is being charged with unlawful sexual activity with a minor.

After she was arrested by Port Orange police on Wednesday morning and taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach, the Daytona Beach police filed an identical charge against her. Investigators think the two carried on their relationship at hotels in both cities.

Faced with termination, Horvath, an English teacher and cheer coach, resigned from Warner Christian Academy on Oct. 12, a day before a school official contacted South Daytona police about allegations she had a four-month sexual relationship with the student, according to a police report.

The school has not decided whether the boy will be allowed to return to school.
Horvath is married with four children.
