Cynthia Horvath, Florida Teacher, Arrested for Sex with Student

Cynthia Horvath, a Christian school teacher in Daytona Beach, Florida, was charged Thursday with having illegal sexual activity with an underage student of the school.

It was the second time in a week that a Central Florida teacher was jailed on sex charges involving a student.

Horvath, 45, was arrested by Port Orange police on Wednesday morning and taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach, where a short time later Daytona Beach police filed an identical charge against her. Investigators think the two carried on their relationship at hotels in those cities.

Bail was set at $20,000.

Horvath was an English teacher and cheerleading coach at Warner Christian Academy in Daytona Beach. She resigned on Oct. 12, the day before police before a school official contacted South Daytona police about allegations she had a four-month sexual relationship with the student.

Mark Tress, the Headmaster of Warner Christian, told police that weeks earlier there had been rumors of a teacher and student having a sexual relationship and that the rumors were finally confirmed by the student's father, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

According to the school website, Horvath taught at the school for three years and elsewhere for five years and that she is married with four children.

According to the investigation, she and the student engaged in a sexual activities in multiple locations in Port Orange between June and September.

On Friday, Laura Pace, 38, was arrested Friday, accused of five counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Pace, an English teacher at Eustis High School, tried to resign last week, but her resignation was refused by the Lake school superintendent. Pace was instead suspended with her employment status pending.

The Lake County Sheriff's Office began investigating earlier this month after the School Board received an e-mail detailing sexual misconduct between her and two male students. Detectives spoke with the teens, who confirmed they had sex with Pace.
