News: Phoenix School Teacher Arrested for Alleged Illegal Sexual Activity with Mino

Azcentral reports:

Phoenix police arrested the head football coach of Cortez High School Monday morning on suspicion of illegal online sexual activity with a minor.

Glendale resident Jeffrey J. Huelster, 44, was arrested on suspicion of sexual luring of a minor and sexual exploitation of a minor, according to Trent Crump, spokesman for the Phoenix Police Department.

According to court documents, Huelster from April 24 to 30 chatted with a person he believed was an underage girl.The probable cause statement said Huelster asked the minor to perform sexual acts and sent inappropriate images. He also sent links to a pornographic site and suggested they watch the video at the same time.

Huelster admitted to police during questioning that he sent the inappropriate images and solicited sex from the minor, the filing said.

Huelster was hired three years ago as a social studies teacher and the head coach of the varsity football team, said Kim Mesquita, spokeswoman for the Glendale Union High School District.

The school is in the Glendale Union district, near Dunlap and 31st avenues in Phoenix.


Question:

1. Should we be doing more to screen our teachers?
2. If the allegations are true, what consequences do you think are appropriate in a case like this?
