A former teacher in Collier County was convicted Monday of exchanging sexually explicit texts and having sex with a 14-year-old student.
Joseph Mejia, 39, of Bonita Springs, was found guilty of four counts of lewd or lascivious battery after a five-day jury trial.
Mejia, a technology teacher at Gulf Coast Charter Academy in Naples, exchanged thousands of text messages, many of them sexually explicit, with a teen student. The April 2019 investigation also revealed he engaged in sexual activity with the student at least four times in different locations around Collier.
