OVIEDO, Fla. — Daniel Le Lievre, ex-teacher at Tuskawilla Middle School, was arrested Monday for grooming and sexual assault of a student. Oviedo Police arrested him after investigating allegations of sexual contact with a 13-year-old girl.
The Seminole County School District initially looked into allegations against Le Lievre in 2024. Oviedo police reported that the criminal investigation escalated last month, resulting in Le Lievre’s arrest and the release of police bodycam footage.
According to Oviedo police, Le Lievre started grooming the student several years ago while he was dating the girl’s mother. Investigators allege the former teacher took steps to have the student placed in more of his classes at Tuskawilla Middle School.
Police reported that Lelievre kept a designated drawer in his school desk filled with personal items for the student, including perfume. He also allegedly taught the student Morse code to help communicate.
Authorities allege that Le Lievre used “throwaway” email accounts and websites to communicate with the child and set up a bank account in her name. Police stated that the two often held hands and touched each other.
The investigation also alleges that Le Lievre had sexual contact with the student at his home. Police noted the girl was 13 years old when the sexual contact took place.
Le Lievre is no longer listed as an employee on the Seminole County School District website. A district spokeswoman said they reported the accusations to police when they came to light.
Le Lievre will be held in jail with no bond until his next court date in May.
