Frank Matthew Galatas, 28, a teacher at Miami Southridge Senior High School in Miami, Florida has reportedly been arrested on allegations of molesting a male, 14-year-old former student.

Reportedly, Galatas was arrested Tuesday and charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious battery on a minor.

According to a spokesperson for Miami police, it is alleged that Galatas performed oral sex on the boy twice last month.

Reportedly, the alleged victim met Galatas two years ago, when Galatas was his teacher. Police say that Galatas and the victim’s mother became friends and that the victim’s mother, a single parent, wanted a role model for her child, and Galatas befriended him.

It is alleged that Galatas molested the boy once while Galatas was staying at the boy’s residence and once while the boy was staying over with Galatas.

According to the Miami Herald:

On his Amazon.com profile, Galatas described himself as a former religion and history major at University of Miami who considered himself “a servant of God called to clarify God’s word in a lost world filled with deception.”

Daniel R. Callan, 25, a 5th grade teacher at St. Bernadette School in Appleton, Wisconsin has been arrested on allegations that he sexually assaulted a 10-year-old male student.

Callan has been initially charged with 1st degree sexual assault of a child, two counts of exposing himself and one count of causing a child to view sexual activity. Police are continuing to investigate, saying there may be additional victims.

The prosecution says that Callan used conversations about sex in the classroom to groom one of his pupils for sexual encounters. It is alleged that when one boy said he didn’t know what sex was, Callan met with the boy on several occasions after class and showed him photos in a book about sexual topic. Prosecutors also say that Callan exposed himself to the boy, accompanied the boy to the bathroom, exposed himself, had the boy expose himself, and showed the boy how to masturbate.

Following his arrest Callan was initially held on $15,000 bond. He bonded out of jail Wednesday night.

Callan has reportedly now been suspended by the school administration although WBAY TV is reporting that Callan was allowed to continue teaching ever after the school administration became aware that he was under investigation.

A school spokesperson said the district was following the police department’s lead so detectives could do their investigation.
