A 20-year old substitute English teacher at Lakeland High School was arrested by detectives from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit for sexually battering a student (16-years or younger), Polk Sheriff’s Office said.

Ayanna Davis of Lakeland admitted to detectives that she had unprotected sex with the student on four occasions, twice at his house, and twice at her house. Deputies say her admission aligned with what the victim told detectives.
