A Central Florida has been apprehended.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office arrested a teacher at Leto High School in Tampa for inappropriate behavior with a student.
An HCSO School Resource Deputy at Leto High School was recently notified of an incident in which a teacher engaged in inappropriate communication with a student. Detectives from the Special Victims Section were contacted and responded to the school.
Detectives discovered that the same day, the teacher, 33-year-old Gregory Sinadinos II, kissed a 17-year-old student. Furthermore, Sinadinos showed an obscene photo of himself and challenged the student to do the same, according to police enforcement.
The teacher worked at Leto High School for two years
“Parents trust that when they send their children to school, they are entering a safe environment focused on learning and growth,” said Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister. “There is absolutely no excuse for an adult in a position of authority to engage in inappropriate conduct with a student. This arrest sends a clear message: anyone who exploits or attempts to exploit a child will be held accountable.”
Gregory Sinadinos II was arrested and charged with one crime of battery, one count of an authority figure soliciting lewd conduct with a student, and one count of selling or distributing obscenity to a minor.
Local law enforcement reports that the investigation is an ongoing inquiry.
