Cops: Karate instructor sent nude pictures to her student, 11

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Authorities have arrested a karate instructor they say solicited an 11-year-old boy for sex.

Orlando police tell news outlets that authorities arrested 20-year-old Stephannie Figueroa last week on charges including attempted lewd or lascivious conduct, solicitation of a minor via computer and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She had instructed the boy at the NextGen Martial Arts studio in Orlando, reports CBS affiliate WKMG.

Police say the boy's mother contacted officials after finding inappropriate text messages from Figueroa on her son's phone. Police say the messages included nude photos and video sent by Figueroa over the messaging app Kik, the station reports.

Police believe there may be more victims and they're asking anyone with information to call 1-800-423-TIPS.

Figueroa was booked at Orange County Jail and was released on bail. It's unclear if she has an attorney.
