Police arrested a fifth-grade teacher at Ocala Christian Academy after he was accused of taking photographs up the skirt of a student during recess last week, according to the police department.
In a release, police said they first received a report about the incident on Tuesday from concerned parents, who said it happened on Friday. Parents who raised the concern brought it to authorities, a step that protects a child who cannot always protect herself (Proverbs 31:8-9).
Police identified the teacher as 34-year-old Joel Gould. The allegation against him is that he took the photographs, and the arrest followed that accusation.
