Affidavit: PfISD employee charged with online solicitation of a minor, child grooming charges
AUSTIN (KXAN) — A Pflugerville Independent School District employee was arrested, according to the district, after she was accused of committing online solicitation of a minor and child grooming, according to arrest warrant affidavits from the Pflugerville Police Department.
The employee was identified as 27-year-old Marissa Juarez, court records said.
Attorney information was not available for Juarez, as of Thursday. We will update this if that changes.
KXAN reached out to Pflugerville ISD for a statement, and a spokesperson for the district said in part, 'As soon as the allegation was reported to the District, the employee was placed on administrative leave, and the matter was promptly referred to law enforcement for investigation. The individual is no longer employed by Pflugerville ISD.'
It began to unfold on April 22 around 4 p.m. when an employee with Pflugerville High School saw Juarez 'sharing a hug and a kiss' with a student, referred to as 'Juvenile One' in an affidavit, on the school security cameras, according to the court document.
Around 4:15 p.m., an officer with PPD was at the high school and met with the juvenile. The officer told the juvenile about the kiss observed between them and Juarez. The juvenile went on to explain that they and Juarez talked nearly every day in person since around October or November 2024 to April, court records said.
The juvenile also told police they were friends with Juarez on a social media app. When Juarez was asked if she was friends with the juvenile on that app, she denied it, according to the affidavit.
As the investigation went on, a parent of the juvenile provided police with '55 screenshots of sexually explicit Snapchat messages between Juvenile One and Juarez' on April 23. In those messages, 'Juarez discussed a plan to kiss at school,' court records said. Furthermore, the affidavit states there were 'several other messages between Juvenile One and Juarez that were sexual in nature.'
According to court records, Juarez told the juvenile 'not to tell anyone they kissed.' She also told the juvenile she was 'scared she may get fired and they cannot kiss at school anymore due to the cameras.'
