Deer Park substitute teacher arrested for sexting with student

DEER PARK, TX (KTRK) -- A substitute teacher for Deer Park has been arrested after police say he was sexting with a student.

Deer Park police were called to the South Campus High School in June to investigate a report of an inappropriate teacher/student relationship. Officers determined that Blake Saucillo was sending explicit videos, photos and messages back and forth with a sophomore girl.

Deer Park ISD immediately removed Saucillo from their substitute system, making him ineligible to work for the school district. They add that police say there is no evidence of any inappropriate behavior taking place at school.

Saucillo was arrested on Tuesday, and charged with sexual performance of a child. He was taken into custody without incident.
