Denham Springs teacher arrested, suspected of cyberstalking

LIVINGSTON, La. -- Livingston Parish Sheriff's deputies have arrested a public elementary schoolteacher suspected of "cyberstalking" a 14-year-old boy.

Deputies say 39-year-old Jennifer R. Davis, a teacher at the kindergarten to fifth-grade Lewis Vincent Elementary School in Denham Springs, reportedly posed as juvenile girl and engaged in MySpace.com communications with the 14-year-old boy during the past several months.

The crime of cyberstalking may occur when someone uses the Internet to commit acts of harassment and stalking against another person.

Jason Ard, Sheriff's Office chief of operations, said Davis' alleged stalking involved a prior relationship between the boy and a 14-year-old girl.

Ard said detectives have not found evidence of any improper relationship between any adult and a child in the case.
