The Warren County public school system has fired a custodian and volunteer assistant football coach.
The employee, whose name hasn’t been released, is accused of sending sexually inappropriate text messages to several male students.
"Some of the students said their were allegations of the suspect sending photographs of his genitalia area to the students," explained Detective Robert Kitchen with the Warren County Sheriff's Office.
Kitchen says investigators are examining the man’s cell phone and computer because evidence suggests he was also contacting students on Facebook.
He was employed by Ohio-based GCA Services, which has a janitorial contract with the school system. He worked as a night-time custodian at Warren Elementary and also served as a volunteer assistant football coach for Warren Central High School.
The school system learned about the sexting allegations last Friday and immediately terminated his employment. He is no longer permitted to be on school property or have contact with any students, according to a news release from the school system.
"The school system is committed to ensuring the safety of our students and is cooperating fully with law enforcement officials as the investigation continues," the release stated.
So far, charges have not been filed. The Warren County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the claims.
