A music teacher at Oakstead Elementary in Land O’ Lakes was arrested Monday on charges related to child ************.

Joseph Watson faces charges of two counts of possession of child ************, two counts of promotion of child ************ and two counts of unlawful use of a two-way device.

A message from Oakstead Principal Clare Ennis to families said that law enforcement confirmed the charges are not connected to the teacher’s role and that they “acted immediately to ensure the individual is no longer on campus and has no further contact with students.”

“I sincerely understand how troubling this news may be, and we will work to provide care and support to students and staff on campus,” Ennis said.

Ennis said the investigation was active and anyone with information should contact the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at (800) 226-1140.

“The safety and well-being of our students is the priority,” district spokesperson Toni Zetzsche said.

Jessica Wright, Pasco County school board member for District 4, which Oakstead Elementary is a part of, said she was deeply saddened by the news but thought it was important to be talked about openly.

“When we find out people could be putting kids in harm’s way, we’re going to make sure they’re not going to see the light of day,” she said.
