Deputies say school district administrators notified a school resource officer about the allegations against Landino in March. That's when the sheriff's office began investigating.
Investigators say Landino groomed a female student for sex acts with phone calls, text messages, social media and in-person conversations at school.
They also say that he drove her home from sports practice and asked her to perform a sex act.
