A teacher in Pinellas Park, Florida, has been arrested after he allegedly exchanged sexually explicit text messages with some of his students, even calling one minor "mommy" in a disturbing exchange. Detectives with the Pinellas Park Police Department began an investigation in December 2025 after they received reports that teacher Brett Caskey had inappropriate conduct with some of his students, according to 10 Tampa Bay News. Police believe that Caskey, 41, used his position as a coach at charter school Plato Academy to gain the trust of female students.
