APS middle school teacher arrested for alleged sexual relationships with students
Jun. 3—Sending nude photos and sexually explicit messages to students, supplying teenage girls with alcohol and subsequently getting a 15-year-old pregnant — those are the accusations being leveled against an Albuquerque Public Schools teacher who recently resigned. Patrick Corr, 34, who formerly taught English at John Adams Middle School on the West Side, is charged with two counts of criminal sexual penetration of a minor and three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was arrested by Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office deputies Monday evening. Corr's attorney did not respond to a request for comment, and his family declined to comment. "The conduct Patrick Corr is accused of is reprehensible," APS spokesman Martin Salazar said in a statement. "APS Police first began its investigation into an allegation against Mr. Corr in May 2024, and he was placed on leave that same month. He tendered his resignation on May 14, 2025." Salazar added that John Adams is the only APS school Corr worked at, and he had been with the district since 2019. In May 2024, John Adams teachers complained to the principal that they felt "extremely uncomfortable" after Corr laid his body across two female students upon returning to the school from a field trip to Urban Air, according to a criminal complaint filed in Metropolitan Court. Corr was placed on administrative leave and the school initiated an internal investigation at the end of the school year. Three months after the field trip, the principal and a teacher were cleaning out Corr's old classroom and found a cabinet and boxes with notes from students where he was referred to as "hot" or "Daddy Corr," the complaint states. The criminal investigation handled by the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office's Special Victim's Unit began in August 2024. A girl, who was not Corr's student, told deputies she met him in June 2021 while out at a bar and grill with her stepsister, according to the complaint. The girl was 15 at the time, though she said she initially told Corr she was 19. Deputies said the girl told them Corr invited her and her stepsister to a party at his house, where the girl drank alcohol before having sex with Corr. The girl said when she told Corr she was 15, he responded by laughing and saying he "figured she was lying about her age," the complaint states. The girl told deputies she realized she was pregnant soon after and told Corr through Snapchat, according to the complaint. She decided to get an abortion and, afterward, had sex with Corr a few weeks later "because she felt pressured." On Nov. 21, 2024, BSCO executed a search warrant on Corr's Snapchat account and found he had messaged over 50 students, where he talked about his personal love life, alcohol and drugs, and allegedly solicited nudes from students, the complaint states. Days earlier, a deputy interviewed one of Corr's former students at University of New Mexico Hospital. Deputies said the former student told them Corr asked her for her Snapchat during one of her final days of the school year in 2021, which she found "weird." The girl, who was 16 at the time, said Corr bought her and her cousin alcohol, and she had sex with him after drinking. The girl told deputies that the next morning, Corr got her an emergency contraceptive pill and "made her take in front of him," according to the complaint.

APS teacher arrested after accusations of sexual relationships with students
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) –An Albuquerque Public School teacher is out of a job after he's accused of having inappropriate relationships with students. The criminal complaint highlights multiple concerns from parents, fellow teachers, and students that launched the investigation. Albuquerque man who founded an aerospace start-up company facing federal charges A little over a year ago, Albuquerque Public School teachers reported concerning behavior from a John Adams Middle School teacher while out on a field trip to Urban Air. A criminal complaint stated that while on the bus to Urban Air, teachers and the bus driver saw then 33-year-old Patrick Corr lying across two female students' laps after he was told to sit down. Also on that trip, a student said she felt extremely uncomfortable seeing Corr pick up and toss a handful of female students in the ball pit, she claims without consent. That was all reported to the school's principal and an internal investigation began. Corr was placed on administrative leave at the end of the 2024 school year, as APS police investigated. That was just the tip of the iceberg. As the next school year started, staff found letters in Corr's classroom from students. The letters calling the teacher, 'Daddy Corr,' 'hot,' and that 'they love him.' The complaint goes on to mention two female victims, a 16-year-old and and a 17-year-old, who spent the night at Corr's home. The 17-year-old was Corr's former student. She said they had been Snapchatting since 2020, when she started eighth grade and they also sent inappropriate photos to each other at least once. She told officers he bought alcohol for her and her 16-year-old cousin before taking them to his home. The complaint states the teen was drunk but remembers Corr having sex with her, and the following morning he gave her Plan B. Another teen victim claimed that while drinking, Corr got her pregnant twice. She ended both pregnancies. A search warrant from Corr's Snapchat account showed 50 usernames were either former students at John Adams or were currently enrolled there. Police arrested Corr Monday night, he faces a slew of charges including three counts of having sex with a minor. The conduct Patrick Corr is accused of is reprehensible. APS Police first began its investigation into an allegation against Mr. Corr in May 2024, and he was placed on leave that same month. He tendered his resignation on May 14, 2025. Due to the allegations being criminal in nature and because we didn't want to jeopardize the criminal case, we allowed the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office to take the lead in the investigation in August 2024. APS has cooperated throughout the investigation. Prior to being hired by APS, Mr. Corr underwent an extensive background check, which included being fingerprinted, and he cleared that background check. Mr. Corr was a teacher at John Adams Middle School from 2019 until he was placed on leave. As the investigation is still ongoing, the district will have no further comment at this time.
