A Miami high school reading teacher has been arrested for allegedly kissing a male student for six minutes and groping him, followed by unzipping the victim’s pants and performing a sexual act.
According to police reports, Leroy Wright Jr., 46, of Miami, was arrested last week on charges of offenses against students by authority figures, unlawful sexual activity with a minor, and depiction of obscene material involving a minor.
The student stated that at the beginning of the school year, Wright asked him to join the Freshman Club for which he served as the adult sponsor.
Police reported that on April 28, an individual emailed the principal of Miami Jackson Senior High School alleging Wright was “having a relationship” with a student. The email included the phrase: “He is too educated for that. No. Not my friend.”
The principal submitted a personnel investigative model report to the Miami-Dade County Public Schools Office of Professional Standards and subsequently forwarded it to the Miami-Dade Schools Police Department.
On Thursday, police interviewed the person who emailed the principal and identified the victim to law enforcement.
