A Florida teacher allegedly sent a nude photo and engaged in sexual activity with a middle school student.

Oliver Fell, 28, is now facing charges of lewd conduct with a student by an authority figure and transmission of harmful material to a minor, according to a news release from the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

That lewd conduct is further defined as soliciting or engaging in a romantic relationship with a student.

Authorities said that they first learned of Fell's alleged offenses on March 3, when a middle school student told a school resource deputy from the MCSO that Fell had allegedly been communicating with him on social media for over three months.

That student also alleged that Fell sent him an "explicit photo" on Snapchat in early January, according to the release.

Those allegations were reported to the school district and the MCSO Crimes Against Children Unit, who promptly launched an investigation into the student's claims.
