【'MOONING' LEADS TO STUDENT'S ARREST】
ttp://www.ocala.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040328/NEWS/203280309/1001/news01 FORT McCOY - A 12-year-old middle school student who allegedly "mooned" his teacher,
fondled a girl and simulated an act while the teacher was not looking, was arrested on Friday
and charged with lewd and lascivious molestation, lewd and lascivious exhibition and tampering
with victim/witness, according to a Sheriff's Office report.
Students told Fort McCoy Middle School dean of students, Michelle Weiler, that the boy was
exposing his buttocks to the teacher while her back was turned during the fourth period class.
The students also told her that the boy was fondling a 13-year-old girl, which was confirmed
by the girl.
Several students told Weiler and Deputy Daryle Greene, the school resource officer, that the
boy was misbehaving in class. The students said the boy, listed in reports as 5-foot-6 and 120
pounds, threatened to "do bodily harm to them if they told anyone," the report stated.
The sixth grade boy told the on-campus deputy and the dean that his shorts "had accidentally
fallen down, which exposed his boxer shorts." He denied mooning the teacher, though he admitted
to having a bottle of white glue and simulating a sex act.
According to the report, the boy said he touched the girl, but "not in a sexual manner." He was
transported to the Marion County Juvenile Assessment Center by another deputy. Greene reported
the incident to the abuse hotline.
