The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office arrested a teacher for showing sexual content to four students.
On April 9, 2025, deputies received an anonymous tip advising that the suspect, Anthony Jenkins, 38, an Armwood High School teacher, showed videos and pictures to four juvenile victims of himself engaged in sexual acts.
During the investigation, detectives confirmed the suspect had shown the content to four juveniles, all of whom had been Jenkins' previous students.
Through a search warrant, detectives accessed his phone which confirmed the videos and pictures shown to the victims. Also discovered were images of bestiality and child pornography.
