A teacher at Mansfield ISD’s Legacy High School was arrested and charged with multiple child sex crimes, WFAA-TV reported.
Science teacher Jared Young, 33, is charged with possession and transmission of child pornography, sexual assault of a child and improper relationship with a student, according to a letter Mansfield ISD sent to parents.
Alvarado police contacted the school district to notify officials of the allegations against Young, WFAA reported.
Young was placed on administrative leave and then fired before being arrested, officials said. None of the alleged crimes involves Mansfield ISD students, according to the district.
Young previously worked as a special education teacher’s aide at Legacy High School during the 2021-2022 school year, officials said. The district will contact parents of any students Young may have had contact with during that time.
“As educators entrusted with the safety and well-being of the students in our care each day, nothing is more upsetting than learning of allegations like those facing Mr. Young,” the district said in a statement to WFAA. “We are thankful these charges do not involve our students. Nevertheless, this inexcusable behavior will not be tolerated in Mansfield ISD, and we have already begun the process to terminate Mr. Young’s employment with us.”
Neither Mansfield ISD nor Alvarado police could be immediately reached for comment Friday.
