A mother of three who worked briefly as an assistant cheerleading coach at Jamestown High School was sentenced this week to 80 years in jail for sexting a 14-year-old boy, with most of the time suspended.
In an unrelated case, a former teacher at Warhill High School is scheduled for trial in June on charges of sexual assault for his alleged actions with three female students.
Sarah Marie Deaver, 45, was sentenced in Williamsburg-James City County court Monday to 80 years in prison, with 65 of those years suspended, and 80 years’ supervised parole.
The court also sealed records of the psychiatric treatment she has been undergoing so they cannot be publicly viewed.
The James City County mother of three pleaded guilty to two counts of computer solicitation of a minor and two counts of indecent liberties with a minor under the age of 15.
The charges stemmed from a police investigation that began in August 2024.
Police received a report of a possible inappropriate relationship between a 14-year-old boy and an adult woman, according to news reports.
Messages from the boy’s phone revealed texts, according to court documents, and Deaver admitted to sending “no more than 10” nude photos of herself to the boy.
Deaver also discussed plans with the boy to engage in future sexual acts and how they would meet up, stating she would have to make the first move since he wouldn’t, according to documents.
Deaver, 45 and a mother of three, was a cheerleading coach for Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools in fall 2022 and received a temporary coaching stipend, according to the school division.
Warhill math teacher Andre Beale Scione, 34, is scheduled to go to trial June 5 on charges that he engaged in inappropriate conduct with three female students.
Police said an investigation into Scione began in October 2025 when a victim first came forward. The Williamsburg-James City County school division placed Scione on administrative leave Oct. 2, a school spokesperson told us.
Police said Scione, who lives in Toano, began engaging in inappropriate conduct with the three students when they were attending Toano Middle School. Scione was a math teacher at Toano during the 2024-2025 school year, then went to Warhill High for the 2025-2026 school year.
