A teacher at an Orlando middle school is facing allegations that he inappropriately touched and filmed students in his classroom.
It has been said that Javier Romero-Gonzalez, a Spanish teacher at Innovation Middle School, engaged in sexual or lascivious behavior with two students.
Additionally, it has been alleged that Romero-Gonzalez, an authority figure, engaged in lewd activity with two students.
An arrest affidavit states that two female students Romero-Gonzalez had in his class stated that he had sexually handled them and recorded them dancing while they were present in the classroom.
An investigation has shown that one of the victims described Romero-Gonzalez as being “touchy.”
Romero-Gonzalez was put on administrative leave on April 12, according to the school system, after the district was made aware of the claims on that day.
“Families at Innovation Middle School were made aware at that time, and the employee has not returned to campus pending the outcome of the internal and law enforcement investigations,” authorities from the district said.
Anyone else who believes they were a victim of Romero-Gonzalez is being asked by the Orlando Police Department’s Special Victims Unit to get in touch with the agency’s representatives.
