ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) — An Orlando karate instructor who just turned 21 years old is accused of soliciting an 11-year old boy for sex.

Stephannie Figueroa, 21, was arrested last week on charges including attempted lewd or lascivious conduct, solicitation of a minor via computer and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

On June 15th, the boy's mother called the police after she opened the messaging app Kik on her son's phone and reportedly found lewd messages from Figueroa. The boy reportedly told his mom that Figueroa had also sent him more than a dozen nude photos of herself but they had been deleted.

One of the messages that Figueroa sent said she wanted to invite him to her 21st birthday party, and that nobody else would be home, police said.

"I want to have sex with you," Figueroa allegedly wrote, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

"OK IDC [I don't care,]" the boy responded.

Figueroa was booked at Orange County Jail.
