Florida – Mauricio Ruiz, 29, was arrested Friday on a charge of offenses against students by an authority figure, records showed.
According to the report, a school resource officer at South Miami Middle School had been told by students that the 13-year-old had been involved in a relationship with Ruiz, her former teacher, back in 2021.
During the girl’s 6th grade year, Ruiz friend requested and communicated with her through Instagram but things escalated from there, the report said.
“Their relationship escalated to video calls, sending explicit photos, and receiving money via Cashapp in exchange for pictures,” the report said.
The report said Ruiz would request to see her outside her home alone and confessed his love to her, sending her naked pictures of himself.
She said he sent her $50 through Cashapp in return for her pictures, the report said.
The girl said she had feelings for Ruiz but didn’t know he was a teacher until he replaced her 6th grade math teacher, the report said.
During class hRuiz would ask her to sit in the back with him so he could tutor her, but while he was sitting next to her he placed his hand on her inner thigh, the report said.
