“It’s insane that someone who should protect the students is the one that’s indoctrinating them. Harming them,” said Ta’ryus Wilkinson, Lake Mary High School visitor.

Many parents told WFTV they found out about the arrest of Richard Colon as they were picking up their children from school.

“The reality is, it’s so horrible and heartbreaking. I feel bad for the people that he might have got in contact with, children,” said Wilkinson.

Thursday, Colon was arrested, taken to the Seminole County Jail, and charged with obscene material-distribution transmitting information harmful to minors, and obscene communication use of a computer to seduce children.

“I’m glad they found out, and they got him. It’s insane that it happened in the first place,” said Wilkinson.

According to the school, Colon was employed as a Social Studies teacher and assistant coach for the high school ******’ soccer team.

According to a release from Seminole County Public Schools, Colon is on administrative leave, and the incident was reported to the Department of Family and Children Services and Law Enforcement per their operating procedures.
