Wakulla High School teacher Jonathan Flagg, who instructed students on aviation and flying drones, was arrested by the Leon County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday, April 26, and charged with video voyeurism, which is a felony sex offense.
According to the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, in mid-March a woman at a Target store in Tallahassee reported that she was in the dressing room and someone reached under the stall with a cell phone and photographed her. Based on surveillance video, deputies interviewed Flagg at his home and seized his phone for evidence.
Flagg later turned himself in at the Leon County Jail.
The district immediately suspended Flagg with pay and prohibited him from coming on campus.
It’s typical for a district employee charged with a felony sex offense to be suspended and then put the matter of terminating the employee to the school board.
Asked for comment, Superintendent of Schools Bobby Pearce released a statement that read: “Johnathon Flagg, a Wakulla District employee, has been arrested in Leon County for a non-school related offense. He has been placed on Administrative leave until the next School Board meeting where further action may be recommended to the School Board.”
