- Time: p.m.
- Place of Occurrence: Crystal Lake Middle in Pompano & 600 NE 42nd St., Deerfield Beach

- Adrian Valdez, male, 29, 7/26/76, 600 NE 42nd St., Deerfield Beach
Description of Incident:
A second middle school student is now accusing a 29-year-old geography teacher of sexually assaulting him, first at school and later at the educator’s Deerfield Beach home.
Adrian Valdez, 29, was charged Tuesday (10/21/05) with kidnapping, sexual battery, and lewd and lascivious molestation. Valdez had given detention to a 12-year-old boy in his class at Crystal Lake Middle School in Pompano Beach, then later offered the boy a ride home, but instead took the child to his house and performed a sex act.
As a result of publicity generated by the arrest, a 14-year-old boy who said he too had been victimized contacted Broward Sheriff’s Office investigators this week. The boy said the assault occurred on the last day of school, June 2, 2005, when he was a student at Crystal Lake Middle. The boy said Valdez first exposed himself inside a portable classroom and then arranged to meet him in a bank parking lot near the school after class. Valdez drove him to his (Valdez’) home and performed other sexual acts in his bedroom.
Valdez, who is being held without bond in BSO’s main jail, now faces five additional charges for the assaults on the 14-year-old: exposure of sexual organs and two counts each of lewd or lascivious molestation and sexual battery – custodial.
Any other children who may have been victimized by Valdez are urged to contact BSO detectives at (954) 321-4240.
