According to these videos, the teacher and student had sexual encounters in central Florida hotels and automobiles.
Former Florida Teacher Faces Federal Charges After 28 Sex Videos With Ex-Student Discovered
The student’s parent reported the phone videos to the authorities. Law enforcement confirmed that the footage showed the student having sex with his former teacher.
He called the instructor his “religious ambassador.” She was his 8th-grade teacher in 2019.
According to the student’s interview, the teacher had a sexual relationship with her between June and September 2023. The FBI found 28 videos of the teacher and pupil having sex.
Former Teacher Indicted on Federal Charges in Shocking Exploitation Case
After these shocking disclosures, a jury indicted Gordo on three charges of sexually exploiting a juvenile. The indictment claims Gordo induced a minor to participate in sexually explicit conduct and made video images. Gordo reportedly left the charter school in June but continued teaching art at another school.
This shocking case led to federal charges against the former teacher. Securing kids from exploitation and abuse by persons in authority and trust is crucial since such actions have a major influence on their well-being and safety.
