A former teacher from Satellite High School was arrested Wednesday for allegedly asking a student to film and send him videos touching herself.

Charles Edward Krininger III, a teacher in Brevard County since 2002, was put on administrative leave in February 2016 following a student complaint that launched an investigation by the Satellite Beach Police Department and the school district.

The victim told police that Krininger asked her to stay after school because of comments she'd made during class. She said Krininger talked to her about sex and asked her to send him videos touching herself via Dropbox.

Before she left, Krininger made the victim pinky swear she wouldn't tell anyone, according to the arrest affidavit. Subpoenas found that Krininger had accessed the Dropbox on the victim's phone.

Krininger, 40 of Melbourne, had been warned in the past by Satellite principal Mark Elliot for making "inappropriate and offensive comments" to students in his class, according to a press release from Brevard Public Schools. He was rated "effective" — the best rating being "highly effective" — in his last annual evaluation.

“It sickens me, totally sickens me, to have to report this kind of news,” Superintendent Desmond Blackburn said in the release.

Krininger previously taught at Space Coast Jr./Sr. High in Port St. John until 2005, before transferring to Satellite High in 2006. He also worked at Eastern Florida State College as an adjunct psychology professor since 2008 and was fired Wednesday as soon as the college learned of his arrest.

If Krininger, who is employed under a professional service contract rather than an annual contract, is convicted, under Florida law the school district can fire him. For the time being, he is on paid leave.

He is currently being held on $30,000 bond for two felony counts of lewd and lascivious conduct and attempted promotion of sexual performance by a child.

“I pray that you keep in mind that our employees are your neighbors, your friends, your family members, or you,” Blackburn said. “They are phenomenal. That said, when the small percentage commits a crime, especially against our babies, the school board and I will move assertively and transparently.”
