Florida legislators proposing TikTok ban in schools

Florida state Sen. Danny Burgess and state Rep. Brad Yeager share their concerns with TikTok in schools.

Deputies in Florida say that a high school employee allegedly had sex with a 16-year-old student.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says that Briona Inman, 24, a paraprofessional at Freedom High School in Tampa, allegedly befriended a male student who was 16-years-old and eventually had sex with him. Deputies say that on Dec. 22, 2022, Inman took the student back to her residence and "engaged in sexual intercourse with him."

On Monday, deputies were informed of the incident and arrested Inman on Tuesday after an investigation.

Inman was initially charged with authority figure soliciting or engaging in sexual conduct with a student.

"Unfortunately, this woman used the trust placed in her, because of her position, to prey upon a vulnerable student," Chronister said. "This egregious betrayal will never be tolerated. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office will continue to do everything in our power to keep predators like this out of our schools."
