Former Douglas Anderson School of the Arts teacher Jeffrey Clayton leaves the Duval County Courthouse with his attorney after pleading guilty.– A former longtime music teacher at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts pleaded guilty Wednesday morning to four felony charges related to illegal contact with a student.

In exchange, the state agreed not to bring any additional charges related to his employment at Douglas Anderson.Clayton now faces a range of nearly three years to 40 years in Florida State Prison which a judge will decide.
The victim confided in a friend about the incident, which led to a Department of Children and Families representative and Clay County Sheriff’s Office deputy visit to the student’s home, which then alerted the victim’s parents.On March 21, 2023, law enforcement set up a 30-minute controlled call between the victim and Clayton, in which he made numerous incriminating statements relating to the incident and potential future romantic gestures he wanted to pursue, according to the State Attorney.
