A Florida teacher’s aide has been arrested for allegedly sexting a 16-year-old special needs student and sending him explicit photos and videos via Instagram.
Lindsey Noele Thorson, 27, was arrested after the parent of another child contacted police.
Staff at Fieldston Preparatory School in Titusville, near Orlando, were already investigating the allegations.
According to a police report, Thorson sent the teenage boy – whose special needs have not been specified – the images and videos over Instagram some time before January.

He took screenshots of them and showed them to a friend who notified the school.
The school said it would launch an investigation but nothing was done to notify the authorities.
According to Florida Today, Thorson’s mother also works there.
The parent of a different child then notified the police and she was arrested.
In police documents, it is claimed that the principal ‘dismissed’ the investigation as if to downplay it.
The friend then ran away from home because he was scared he would get into trouble for telling on Thorson.
Fieldston Preparatory School is a private school which teaches children age kindergarten through to 12th grade.
