A 35-year-old ESE teacher at JD Floyd K8 is being charged with four counts of sexual assault on a 16-year-old male. Cynthia Lynn Herr, who lives in Citrus County, disclosed recently to a co-worker that she was involved in an intimate relationship with a minor, according to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office.
As required by law, the co-worker reported the information to school administrators, which led to an initial criminal investigation by Citrus County Sheriff’s Office, since it was unknown if or where the criminal offense occurred.

The sheriff’s office has not disclosed whether the victim was a student of Herr’s. The 16 year old told investigators he and Herr engaged in sexual relations in Hernando County.
