In the past week (April 23–30, 2026), several U.S. teachers faced arrests, firings, or administrative actions, mostly over allegations of inappropriate relationships or contact with students. These cases come primarily from Florida (a cluster of incidents), Alabama, West Virginia, New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. Below are the key verified stories reported in that window, based on local law enforcement and school district announcements.

Florida cases (multiple arrests and one high-profile firing)

  • Kirsten Rose, 37, math teacher at Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School (Brevard County): The school board unanimously voted to terminate her employment on April 28, 2026, after her earlier arrest. She faces one count of sexual conduct by an authority figure and five counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor (plus lewd and indecent exposure). The alleged relationship with a student began via social media. The district stated it was “deeply troubled by these allegations” and is cooperating with law enforcement. fox35orlando.com
  • Heather Mashburn-Smith, 37, teacher at Port Charlotte High School (Charlotte County): Arrested April 29, 2026, after detectives say she had sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old student on campus on two occasions in the prior month. She provided a full confession. Charged with unlawful activity with certain minors (enhanced to a first-degree felony because of her position as a teacher). The district placed her on administrative leave and said it is “working closely with law enforcement” while prioritizing student safety. winknews.com
  • Nicholas Sapp, ~38, teacher at Williston Middle/High School (Levy County): Arrested April 23, 2026, after a witness reported an inappropriate relationship with a student. Charged under Florida Statute 800.101 (offenses against students by authority figures). He was placed on administrative leave without pay. levyso.com
  • Angela Faith Jourdan, substitute teacher at Lake Minneola High School (Lake County): Arrested and immediately fired on Monday, April 27, 2026, after an alleged classroom meltdown. Witnesses reported she twerked in class, referred to herself as a “million-dollar prostitute,” and grabbed a student. The district terminated her employment the same day, citing the behavior as unacceptable. She was charged in connection with the incident. nypost.com

Alabama case

  • Gilford Kibler Jr., 62, career technical education teacher at Discovery Middle School (Madison City Schools): Arrested April 27, 2026, on a felony charge of school employee sexual contact with a student under age 19.

Arizona cases

  • Diego Florentine Ontamucha Franco (also reported as Diego Antemucha Franco), 30, kindergarten teacher at Pueblo Elementary (Scottsdale Unified School District): Arrested April 28, 2026, at his Mesa home after police say child sex abuse material (CSAM/child pornography) was found on his electronic devices. No evidence indicates any Scottsdale students were involved. He was fired following the arrest. fox10phoenix.com
  • Amy Beck, teacher at Coyote Hills Elementary School (Peoria Unified School District): Placed on paid administrative leave April 27, 2026, pending an internal investigation. The action followed the resurfacing of a 2020 video (originally posted by her son, social media influencer Noah Beck) that appeared to show her simulating oral sex with him while lip-syncing to explicit lyrics. The district cited “an abundance of caution” and emphasized that student safety was not impacted; a substitute is covering her class. usatoday.com

West Virginia

  • Curtis Collins Jr., 44, teacher at Logan Middle School (Logan County): Arrested Wednesday, April 29, 2026, on one count of sexual abuse by a parent, guardian, or custodian. The district confirmed the arrest and placed him on leave while cooperating with law enforcement. Details on the specific allegations remain limited in initial reports. wsaz.com

Texas

  • Cecilia Mueller, 46, elementary school teacher (Northside Independent School District, San Antonio): Arrested Monday, April 28, 2026, and charged with continuous sexual assault of a child. The alleged assaults occurred about a decade earlier while she taught at Lewis Elementary (she later taught at Henderson Elementary until 2019). The now-adult victim came forward recently. She was taken into custody without incident. ksat.com

New Mexico

  • Wyatt Cornelius, 43, middle school teacher and coach at Camino Real Middle School (Las Cruces Public Schools): Arrested Friday, April 24, 2026, on charges including criminal sexual contact of a minor (third-degree felony), child solicitation by electronic device, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

These bring the total reported incidents this week to around a dozen, with Florida again seeing multiple cases. Most stem from local sheriff’s offices and school district statements, with many still in early stages. No major national pattern or international stories broke in this exact seven-day period beyond what’s already been covered. If you’d like deeper details on any specific case, more states, or updates as they develop, just let me know!

A Nassau County man faces multiple charges are he allegedly tried to lure an 11-year-old earlier this week.  Nelson Acevedo, 51, has been charged with attempted kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, and endangering the welfare of a child. He pleaded not guilty. Bail was set at $250,000 cash. “A kid can’t even go home safely”  The alleged attempted kidnapping happened just yards from Jordan Lopez’s auto body shop and gas station on Chester Street in Uniondale. 

“It is shocking. Think about it,” Lopez said. “A kid can’t even go home safely without an incident possibly happening.”  Surveillance video from his shop shows a man walking across his lot around 4:30 p.m. Monday, the time of the alleged attempted kidnapping.  Additional footage shows the man continuing to walk down the street where, minutes later, police said he tried to kidnap the 11-year-old boy.  Acevedo allegedly called out to the boy saying “mommy, mommy,” and “started to blow kisses at the victim” while showing him around $100 in cash, according to the criminal complaint.  When the boy tried to walk away, Acevedo then allegedly grabbed his wrist to try to prevent it, according to the complaint. The boy was able to escape.

A Washington, D.C., police lieutenant was arrested in Maryland and charged with sexual solicitation of a minor, according to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.  Records show that 47-year-old Lt. Matthew Mahl was arrested by deputies on Tuesday. He also faces charges of soliciting child pornography.  According to charging documents, Mahl tried to meet up with someone he believed to be a 15-year-old boy for sexual activity.  A judge ordered Mahl to be held without bail Wednesday. WJZ has reached out to Mahl’s attorney for comment.  According to D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), Lt. Mahl was placed on administrative leave, and his police powers were revoked after Harford County Sheriff’s officials contacted MPD’s Internal Affairs Division about the arrest.  “The allegations in this case are extremely disturbing, and in direct contrast with the values of the Metropolitan Police Department,” officials said in a statement.

A former sheriff’s deputy from southwest Colorado, who was on the run for months before being arrested in Mexico, was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple charges related to possession of child sexual exploitation videos. Jesus Damian Nieblas was a deputy at the San Miguel County Sheriff’s Office until he resigned in June 2025. The following month, investigators from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation served a search warrant on his home in Norwood and said they found 27 child sexual abuse videos. Nieblas, now 29, was nowhere to be found, and a warrant for his arrest was issued. At the time, police believed he fled San Miguel County and a manhunt was launched.

New Hampshire teacher resigns after alleged inappropriate communication with students online

A Salem, New Hampshire High School teacher has resigned after allegations of inappropriate interactions with students on social media.  “Definitely surprised. It just kind of hurts because he was a very liked teacher,” said senior Thomas Mallous. The district confirmed that the Salem Police Department has been notified and that a criminal investigation is underway. In a statement, Superintendent Maura Palmer said parents of students directly affected were notified immediately. The broader school community was informed of the teacher’s resignation on April 14. Parents described the situation as troubling. “I think it’s inappropriate,” said parent Inna Gacevic.

“I think we need to be careful with our kids on social media, definitely. I have kids on social media, but I make sure that we don’t interact with teachers outside of school in that way.” The Salem School District has a strict social media policy for staff. According to the policy, teachers are prohibited from “friending” students or sharing social media content unrelated to academic work. Community members say those rules are critical but acknowledge the challenges of enforcement. “It’s hard to keep track of that,” another parent said. “We can’t know what every teacher is doing outside of school or what every student is doing,but I think, for ethical reasons, as a teacher, you don’t do that.” Mallous said interactions between teachers and students on social media should be off-limits. “It should be rule number one of being a teacher never interact with your students online,” Mallous said. “It’s just not acceptable.”

Boston Police are investigating what they’re calling an “attempted abduction” outside the Dudley Street Neighborhood Charter School in Roxbury on Thursday morning. According to a police report, a female student was playing on the playground during morning recess when a light-skinned man with hazel eyes in a ski mask spoke to her from a gray, scratched-up minivan. She told police he offered her money and asked her to come in the van.  When she screamed, school administrators responded and the man drove away. The incident happened at the intersection of Shirley and Dudley Streets. “This morning, an individual unknown to the school community attempted to engage with a student who was in the recess yard,” an email sent to parents from the school began. Several parents showed up to school early to pick up their kids due to safety concerns after receiving the email. “They said there was nothing to worry about,” one mother said. “They are trying to make it sound like a very small incident. But child abduction is a very big incident.”

Criminal investigators with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office have charged Joel Ernest Lulinski, 52, of Cleveland, with multiple felony counts after he allegedly used his cell phone to record underneath the clothing of minors at Lanier Christian Academy. Lulinski, a former physical education teacher and football coach at the Flowery Branch private school, faces 27 counts of the felony crime of using or installing a device to record underneath or through an individual’s clothing under certain circumstances. 

According to authorities, all of the victims are female students at the academy and were under the age of 16 at the time of the incidents. The investigation began on April 2, 2026, when one of the victims reported her suspicions to school officials. The officials immediately contacted a Hall County Sheriff’s Office deputy who was working extra duty at the school.  The report was quickly passed on to the agency’s Criminal Investigations Bureau, which launched a probe into Lulinski’s activities. Over the following 12 days, investigators determined that Lulinski had used his cell phone on multiple occasions to take inappropriate and surreptitious photos or videos of minors during normal school activities.

FORT WORTH, Texas – A man is in the custody of Fort Worth police after being accused of shooting another man in the groin. His family claims he was protecting his underage nieces from a man allegedly soliciting them for sex. Fort Worth man arrested Markus Renfro, 33, is in jail Saturday. His family members are explaining why he shot another man in the groin, and why they don’t think he deserves to be in jail. Dontavius Williams, Renfro’s brother-in-law, says he knew something wasn’t right.

What they’re saying: “My little cousin told me that the dude said, ‘Oh, come back and smoke some meth with me,’ you know, ‘have some drugs,’” Williams said. The family said this wasn’t the first time. Fort Worth police say officers had already been called to the 3700 block of Century Place on Friday morning after receiving reports of a man who was possibly under the influence soliciting children for sex. “We had already heard that a certain dude had been messing with other little kids around here,” Williams said. That’s when they say Renfro stepped in.
