An English teacher from Hialeah Senior High School, 55 years old and an alumnus of that institution, has been arrested and is facing serious charges for engaging in sexual relations with a minor, a student at that school.
The arrest of the teacher, identified as Misael González, has caused deep shock and disbelief throughout the school community, which was preparing for the summer vacation.
González -whose nationality of origin has not been disclosed- faces a series of serious charges, including lewd and obscene assault, sexual abuse, child abuse, and illegal sexual activity with a minor.
The arrest, which took place on Tuesday night, is the result of a thorough investigation initiated by the Miami-Dade School Police in response to the troubling accusations.
Details of an Illicit and Abusive Relationship
According to arrest reports, the victim, a tenth-grade student in González's English class, was just 15 years old when the inappropriate relationship, described by the police as "romantic and sexual," is said to have begun.
The teenager told the authorities how her conversations with the teacher, initially focused on family issues, "turned romantic," according to NBC6.
It is alleged that González began to touch the victim's body, including her intimate parts, over her clothing. "The victim stated that the defendant told her they were in a romantic relationship and that they loved each other," the police report quotes, a statement repeated by Telemundo 51 and NBC6.
Between September 2024 and February of this 2025, the forbidden relationship had escalated to a series of sexual encounters that, alarmingly, took place in various classrooms on the Hialeah Senior High campus.
The victim also revealed to the police that González and she communicated exclusively in person, refraining from using electronic means, which, according to the report, indicates an attempt to conceal the relationship.
In a moment, the student took photographs with the teacher on his phone, but he supposedly asked her to delete them, claiming that "the ghosts of his past were coming back to haunt him."
Meetings outside of school
The alleged inappropriate behavior of González was not limited to school grounds.
Police reports indicate that, at some point, the meetings between the professor and the victim took place off-campus.
In January, for example, they would both have skipped classes to spend the day at the beach.
González would have taken her back to school just in time for dismissal, a pattern that repeated itself.
The report details a day in February, after the victim turned 16, when both of them skipped school again. They drove to a park, where the victim had sexual relations for the first time.
Response from the school district: Dismissal and condemnation of the events
The Miami-Dade County Public Schools have expressed their deep shock and condemnation regarding the allegations.
In an official statement, the district expressed its "dismay over the disturbing allegations" against the teacher.
"This type of behavior will not be tolerated, as it contradicts the professional conduct we expect from all employees," they pointed out.
The district has acted swiftly, confirming that "it has initiated a termination process and will ensure that this person cannot seek employment in the District in the future."
