2 elementary school teachers caught having sex in a classroom

LEE COUNTY, Fla. -- (WBBH) -- Two Lee County elementary school teachers were caught having sex in a classroom before school started.

Fifth-grade teachers Justin Pinto and Samantha Wilhide from Heights Elementary School are no longer teaching at the school.

Pinto was released from his contract, and Wilhide was reassigned to the district offices.

In early May the school district abruptly dismissed Pinto from his job.

The school system launched an internal investigation into the matter.

The investigative documents say another teacher caught the pair having sex in Pinto's darkened classroom early in the morning before classes started but while students were in another part of the building.

Surveillance cameras at the school had weeks worth of footage showing Pinto and Wilhide meeting in his classroom at 6:45 a.m. most days.

Thirty pages worth of text messages and statements from other women teaching at the school show Pinto sexually harassed them and sexted colleagues on a regular basis.

Neither Pinto or Wilhide returned our request for comment.
