JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A St. Augustine High School teacher was arrested Thursday for inappropriate behavior with a student, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.
Kyle Spitzer faces charges of transmitting harmful material to minors and the unlawful use of a two-way communication device, according to jail records.
The principal of St. Augustine High received a letter on Dec. 21, 2022 about Spitzer's reported behavior with a student. This is when SJCSO launched their investigation into the teacher.
According to the letter, Spitzer exchanged Snapchat messages with a student offering to buy him vapes. Spitzer then reportedly invited the student to his home and sent the student a photo of his penis.
The victim was 13 years old, according to Spitzer's arrest warrant.
The 26-year-old science teacher was placed on administrative leave with pay due to an HR investigation on Jan. 5, 2023.
On Friday, a letter was sent to Spitzer from the St. Johns County School District notifying him that his employment would end when his contract was up.
