Lauren Debenedetta, a 41-year old dance teacher has been found guilty on four counts of lewd and lascivious battery on a minor — her 15-year-old student.
The girl’s stepdad caught them in her bedroom as he was checking up on his daughter, who had stayed home for a sick day.
Court documents showed Debenedetta called the student
after learning she was staying home for the day, asking if she could
come over.
The victim told police the relationship started as soon as the girl started classes at Debenedetta’s dance studio, Haven Dance.
A court heard how Debenedetta would call the teen into
her office during class and would “kiss her on her mouth” and “touch her
private parts”.
After serving her time, Debenedetta will be on sex offender probation for five years.
