Married teacher admits sex crimes against 14-year-old after her DNA recovered from student's bed, faces 50 years in prison

A former Virginia middle school teacher faces up to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a 14-year-old.

On Tuesday, Megan Pauline Jordan pleaded guilty to four felony counts of carnal knowledge of a minor and one felony count of indecent liberties with a minor, according to the Henrico County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office. The 25-year-old woman faces up to 50 years in prison if convicted on all five of the felonies.

Jordan was arrested in June 2023 on suspicion of committing "multiple crimes involving a minor," the Henrico County Police Department said in a press release. She has been held at the Henrico County Jail since her June arrest without bond, inmate records say.

At the time of her arrest, the Henrico County Police Department said it "was made aware of potentially inappropriate acts involving an adult acting in a custodial manner with a Henrico County student."

“From this case, enough information was gathered permitting Henrico County police to seek indictments related to potential sexual acts between an adult and a teen minor," the department stated.

At the time, Jordan was a teacher at Hungary Creek Middle School.

Prosecutors say she would sneak into the boy's house, and sexually abuse a 14-year-old student.

The Henrico County Public School District described the teacher sex scandal allegations as "an extremely serious and upsetting situation."

"We have communicated with families at the school and will continue to support our school community in any way needed," the district said.

Investigators said they had recovered Jordan's DNA from the student's bed sheets.

Henrico County Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor said, "During the 2022-23 school year, Ms. Jordan was having sexual relations with her 14-year-old student. On several occasions, Ms. Jordan would go to the victim’s house and have sexual intercourse with the student. Her DNA was recovered from his bed linens."

"I must recognize the brave action of those who brought this matter to the attention of Henrico Police Division," Taylor added. "We are always asking people if they see something unusual, or not quite right, to say something. Because of their efforts, this predator is off the streets, out of our schools, and will be held accountable for her actions."

Minors under the age of 17 are not legally able to consent to sexual activity under Virginia law.

Jordan had gotten married in 2021, according to public records.

Her sentencing is scheduled for May 20.
