Preschool teacher arrested for sexual battery of student

Gainesville police arrested a 28-year old pre-school teacher they say sexually battered one of his students.

28- year old Trevor Hruby was arrested Wednesday after police say parents came to them concerned with something their child said.

“The parents contacted authorities to investigate," said GPD Spokesman Graham Glover. "We brought in the teacher who was later arrested for sexual battery of a child under the age of 12. Mr. Trevor Hruby who later confessed to the charges brought against him.”

“I reached out to A Child's Dream preschool for a comment on the situation," reported CBS4's Landon Harrar. "The owner ( Jose Rodriguez) got back to me via Facebook. He said, “ We want to assure you that A Child's Dreams Preschool has followed 100% of the law and protocols when dealing with this situation. The employee in question went through all regulatory background checks required by governing entities.”

Police say additional victims and future charges are possible.

“It's certainly a possibility which is why GPD felt it was important to share this information with the public," said Glover. "We wanted people to know the individual, the suspect that has been arrested for this horrific crime. We wanted people to know the place it occurred in case you have a child or children who attend there. If you have any questions or concerns about your child or others we want you to contact law enforcement immediately so we can follow up with you.”

Glover said the details of the case are highly disturbing.

“Anytime you’re talking about sexual activity or battery of anybody, much less a child under the age of 12, much less a child who would attend a facility like this where we know the ages of the children, this is beyond any rational type of comprehension.”

Glover also mentioned it's important for parents to not interview their own kids but to let trained police professionals handle those questions if you have any concerns about what your child is telling you.

Glover also said A Child's Dream management has been cooperative and helpful in the investigation. You can see The entire statement from A Child's Dream owner Jose Rodriguez below.
