Kentwood social worker accused of trying to send explicit image to student
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A Kentwood Public Schools social worker accused of inappropriate communication with multiple children has been charged with two felonies.
Dequindre Wiggins, 26, was arraigned Friday on charges of accosting children for immoral purposes and using a computer to commit a crime.
School social worker arrested for 'inappropriate' contact
Investigators say that earlier this month, a parent came forward to report the inappropriate communication. Court records allege Wiggins tried to send a student an explicit photo through Snapchat.
While investigating, the school resource officer discovered that Wiggins had additional contact with other children online, the Kent County Sheriff's Office previously said.
Wiggins was arrested in Lexington, Kentucky, on May 21 and had to be brought back to Michigan to face charges. At arraignment, his bond was set at $20,000. He's expected back in court for hearings June 11 and June 18.
