Jennifer Efre Deberry, Florida Dance Teacher, Arrested For Sex With Minor (VIDEO)

Texts Reveal Dance Teacher's Affair With Underage Boy

A Florida dance instructor has been arrested for a four-month-long sexual relationship with a minor.

Jennifer Efre Deberry, 30, of Coral Springs, was arrested Friday after an eighth month investigation, police report.

In January the 15-year-old victim told special victim’s unit detectives about his relationship with his dance teacher at Dance Effect Studio in Coral Springs.

Detectives then confirmed details of Deberry's relationship with the teen via communication on the victim's Facebook account, email, and through 117 pages of texts.

The two exchanges messages such as "I love you so much" and "Making love with you was the greatest feeling in the whole world," according to the arrest report.

Police say Deberry first met the victim when he was 13 but the sexual relationship did not begin until he was 15.

However the electronic trail of love missives indicate that the feelings may go back much longer. One text noted "I love you more than anything and have loved you for a long time."

Deberry, who Local 10 reports is married with children, also alluded to a future with the teen in the following message: "I hope one day I will be their daughter in law. I can't believe how I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I'm sure of it."

Deberry was charged with felony lewd and lascivious battery, and was released Friday on $10,000 bond.
