Florida's Treasure Coast High School Band Director Charged of Sexual Activity with Minors
Treasure Coast High School's director of their marching band is facing 39 charges of sexual activity with minors. Even his girlfriend whose a band instructor at Manatee Academy K-8, is charged with being an accessory after the fact, officials said through WPTV.
“...We arrested Dominic L. Madison, a teacher at Treasure Coast High School,” Sheriff Ken J. Mascara said in a prepared release. “He faces 39 charges of sexual activity with minors and one count of using a child in a sexual performance. He is being held at the St. Lucie County jail under $1,535,000 bond.” They also arrested Janifer Thomas, 35, described by detectives as Madison’s girlfriend. She is charged with being an accessory after the fact and failure to notify law enforcement of knowledge of a suspect of child abuse.
Both teachers were immediately suspended from their jobs. A spokesman for the Sheriff’s Office said the charges against Madison involve two female victims, both 17.
“We believe there may be additional victims,” Mascara said. “I want to ask parents of Mr. Madison’s female students to talk with their daughters. I encourage victims to contact sheriff’s detectives at 772-462-3230.” The “sexual performance” charge relates to a sexual encounter recorded by Madison and stored on one of his computers, Mascara said. Detectives seized several of Madison’s computers and storage devices, which detectives are examining for additional evidence. According to an arrest affidavit for Thomas, deputies went to a home in the 1300 block of Southwest Amboy Avenue, Port St. Lucie and spoke with a man who Thomas had contacted earlier in the day. He told deputies that Thomas had told him she found a video on her home computer around 5 p.m. of Madison having sex with a minor.
