NORTH PORT - A North Port High School military instructor admitted receiving nude photographs and lurid text messages from a teenage girl, according to newly released police documents.
The Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps teacher, Ronald Barche, was arrested this month for exchanging sexually explicit messages with the girl, a search warrant affidavit shows.
The teenager, who will be a junior when school starts later this month, took the messages to police and told detectives that she had sent Barche a picture of her breasts.
The teenager agreed to do a controlled phone call - which is monitored and taped by police - and asked Barche if he liked the pictures and which was his favorite.
Barche, 47, was released this week on bail and did not immediately return phone calls for comment.
