Investigators say digital evidence played a key role in the case, including messages and images allegedly exchanged over electronic platforms. After reviewing the material and conducting interviews, police moved forward with the arrest and filed charges related to the exploitation of a minor. Authorities have not released specific details about the content of the messages, citing the need to protect the identity and well-being of the student. The accused has been removed from their position pending the outcome of the legal process.

School district officials released a statement expressing shock and concern, stressing that the behavior described in the allegations is a clear violation of school policy and ethical standards. “The safety of our students is our highest priority,” the statement read, adding that the district is cooperating fully with law enforcement. Counseling and support services have been made available to students and families who may be affected, and the district is reviewing its policies to ensure safeguards are as strong as possible.

The accused is expected to appear in court in the coming days, where prosecutors will outline the charges and seek appropriate legal action. If convicted, the individual could face significant penalties, including prison time and mandatory registration requirements. Authorities are urging parents and guardians to speak openly with children about online safety and to report any suspicious behavior immediately. The investigation remains ongoing, and officials say additional charges could be filed as more information becomes available.
