Orlando Catholic School Teacher Jared Tatum Arrested for Sexual Misconduct On June 19, 2025, Jared Tatum, an Orlando high school teacher and tutor, was arrested for alleged sexual misconduct with an underage female student. Tatum was taken into police custody by the department's fugitive investigative unit and held in the Lake County Jail. He faces two felony charges, touching of certain minors and attempted sexual battery on a victim over the age of 12 years old. Law enforcement reviewed DNA results and obtained witness statements before making the arrest, according to public records. According to media reports, Jared Tatum, age 31, was terminated by Bishop Moore Catholic High School after a female student reported to authorities that Tatum, an engineering teacher, inappropriately touched her during a tutoring session in May 2025. The school reportedly notified authorities and terminated Tatum's employment. An investigation began on Tatum on May 7 and remains open. Detectives say there could be more student victims. Jared Tatum was previously employed as a security member at Universal Studios and a cast member at Disney World, according to his LinkedIn profile.
