Disgusting Texas Coach Charged for Misconduct with 7-Year-Old

An Texas instructional aide, Duke Robert Aquirre, has been arrested following allegations of inappropriate conduct with a 7-year-old female student. 

INAPPROPRIATELY TOUCHING A YOUNG STUDENT

The arrest affidavit outlines that the incident occurred on January 24, but it only came to the school's attention later, when police informed them that Aquirre, who was working as a coach at Lyndon D. Johnson Elementary, had inappropriately touched a 7-year-old girl. 

This revelation surfaced after the young student confided in her parents, detailing that Aquirre, during his tenure as a substitute, touched her inappropriately and made unsettling comments about her appearance.

DISGUSTING ADMISSION

Upon investigation, Aquirre shockingly admitted to harboring a sexual attraction towards the student and disclosed his past engagement with child pornography a decade ago. This admission has led to his immediate dismissal from the school, as confirmed by Edgewood ISD. 

The district, prioritizing the safety and security of its students, acted swiftly in response to these grave accusations, ensuring Aquirre's removal from his position.
