PE Teacher Arrested for Sending Lewd Pics to 13-Year-Old Student
A 22-year-old PE teacher has been hauled in by cops for allegedly sending semi-nude photos and inappropriate videos to a 13-year-old boy. In a separate shocking case, a married substitute teacher has been slammed with a 10-year prison sentence after paying pupils for sex.
Florida Teacher Busted for Sending Explicit Material to Underage Student
Yezmar Angeanis Ramos-Figueroa was arrested on 26 November after the mum of a teenage boy reported disturbing contact with her son. The boy, a virtual pupil at Central Pointe Christian Academy, confirmed the teacher sent him lewd texts, videos, and semi-nude pics.
“The exchanges involved obscene material sent to a minor and inappropriate texting back and forth,” said Kim Montes, spokesperson for Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
Ramos-Figueroa admitted to sending explicit pics and messages. She faces charges of distributing obscene material and transmitting harmful content to a minor. Police found no proof of a physical relationship, but investigations continue to check if other youngsters were targeted.
The school swiftly suspended her. At a court hearing on 28 November, the teacher was banned from internet use and ordered to avoid all contact with minors. A £10,000 bond was set, but it’s unclear if she’s out on bail.
Missouri Substitute Teacher Jailed for 10 Years for Paying Students for Sex
In a separate sick case, 30-year-old Carissa Smith got a decade behind bars after paying pupils cash and via CashApp for sex. She also supplied alcohol and marijuana to groom children.
Smith, who worked as a substitute in the Dixon School District, had sexual relations with at least two students. Court papers reveal one victim said she forced him into sex acts. Another filmed a sexual encounter, which Smith tried to delete by smashing his phone.
Convicted on 19 sex-related charges — including rape, sodomy, child sex trafficking, and misconduct — Smith’s harsh sentence highlights the serious nature of her crimes.
Warning Signs for Schools and Parents
- Both schools banned the accused immediately, but questions remain how these predators slipped through the cracks.
- The cases expose how easily some teachers exploit their position, both online and offline.
- Experts urge parents and students to stay alert and report any suspicious behaviour immediately.
- The Florida case is especially worrying as it shows abuse happening entirely online during virtual learning.
Investigations Continue as Communities Reel
Florida detectives are still unraveling the full scope of Ramos-Figueroa’s misconduct, while Missouri prosecutors secured convictions against Smith backed by strong evidence.
Both cases serve as harsh reminders: trust in teachers must be balanced with vigilance, and protecting children must be the top priority.
