Teachers accused of molesting students — including 12-year-old
Two schoolteachers have been arrested on some serious charges after, police said, they molested female students, including a 12-year-old in one case.
Sixty-three-year-old Leslie Wolfe, a sixth grade teacher, faced Broward County Circuit Judge Kal Evans.
Wolfe is accused of molesting the 12-year-old student during a tutoring session at West Broward Regional Library in Plantation, Wednesday.
Police said Wolfe and the student went into a private study room at the library for a tutoring session. At some point, investigators said, Wolfe touched the girl inappropriately.
He was placed under arrest and is being held on $150,000 bond.
“No contact with anyone under the age of 18,” Evans told Wolfe.
The suspect argued that his conduct was not unlawful.
Jossie Calderon, who teaches at Barbara Goleman Senior High School in Miami Lakes, has also been accused of touching a student inappropriately.
According to the police report, a 15-year-old girl told a counselor that Calderon touched her inappropriately on two different occasions.
Investigators said surveillance video corroborates the student’s story.
A second victim, who is 16, also came forward and said Calderon did the same thing to her.
Calderon was also arrested.
Because both teachers had contact with students and did private tutoring sessions, police believe there could be more victims.
