From Pahokee, Florida, “A 26-year-old  health care aide was arrested last weekend after she allegedly engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old in a group home where she was working.”

“Authorities arrested Tykea Lasjara Alexander, of Pahokee, Saturday in connection with a sexual battery investigation that began in March.  She was released the same day on $10,000 bail.

According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Alexander had sexual relations with a 17-year-old boy in a group home where she was assigned to provide care. Deputies say the boy told them he and Alexander flirted with each other for several weeks and traded text messages.

But an unidentified witness told deputies he walked into the room and saw Alexander and boy having sex, a sheriff’s arrest report said.  When deputies spoke to Alexander, they report she denied having a sexual relationship or communicating with the teen more than once.

Deputies monitored a call between Alexander and the teen, the report said. During the call, they report she admitted to deleting text messages, photos and a call log between her and the teen.”
