The Indianapolis Star reports:

A former English teacher and volleyball coach at Fishers Christian Academy was arrested on Friday and is accused of sexual misconduct with a student, according to court records. Stephen Ayon, 34, is facing three counts of sexual misconduct with a minor, three counts of child seduction and one count of dissemination of matter harmful to minors. Ayon was terminated from the school Sept. 26, three days before his arrest.

The former teacher had been confronted at church by a group of people accusing him of having inappropriate online conversations with a 13-year-old girl, police said. Fishers detectives went to interview Ayon at his home, according to the affidavit. Ayon said he was her direct teacher and volleyball coach at different times and that he had received inappropriate photos from her and had sexual contact with her more than once, according to court records.

Investigators also said 34-year-old Stephen Ayon sought out minors through messaging mobile applications. The documents indicated that Ayon spoke to law enforcement about allegations of him pursuing 13-year-olds over Whisper Application and Text Now, two mobile applications used to message individuals. The minor told police she went along with Ayon’s texts because she “didn’t want anything to happen and… didn’t want to be in trouble.” The girl also told police Ayon forced her to touch him inappropriately.
