Police have arrested a 35-year-old Florida teacher who's accused of having sex with a student.

Tiffany Michelle Geliga faces  2 counts of sex assault by persons 24 years or older on a victim 16 or 17 years old.  

Police said they began investigating after school administrators at Port St. Lucie High School told a school resource officer that they had spoken to a 17-year-old student who told them he had relations with Geliga.
