Fla. Coach Accused Of Lesbian Affair With Student

UPDATED: 11:45 am EST November 3, 2005

The former head coach of a Hillsborough County high school women's basketball team is accused of having a 19-month lesbian relationship with one of her students, according to a Local 6 News report.

Authorities said 28-year-old Jaymee Lane Wallace, who was also a teacher, had the affair with a member of the Wharton High School basketball team.

Wallace surrendered to police Monday on charges of lewd and lascivious battery.

An investigation began in June after the girl's family contacted authorities.

The girl said the relationship began in December 2002 when she was 14 and Wallace allegedly stapled a note to a paper saying the girl was attractive.

Wallace's attorney said the girl doesn't have proof, saying she destroyed evidence.

The teenager passed a polygraph test and witnesses support her story, according to police.

Wallace has been relieved of her coaching duties and is reassigned to office work.

Her attorney has filed a not guilty plea.

The alleged victim said Wallace broke off the relationship in 2004, about a year after Wallace married a fellow Wharton teacher.
