Multiple US Teachers Arrested for Attempting Sexual Contact with Minors

Two separate cases involve educators accused of inappropriate conduct with minors. Michael Cadilli, a former teacher at Pacifica High School in Garden Grove, California, was arrested after an online sting operation by the citizen group "Caught-Fished" revealed he arranged to meet someone he believed to be a minor, though it was a decoy profile. Meanwhile, Thomas Wilson, a band teacher from Dudley, Massachusetts, was charged with child pornography, enticing a child under 16, and reckless endangerment after allegedly meeting a 14-year-old girl he met on Reddit, where she posted about wanting to date older men. Wilson was confronted by the girl's family in Taunton, arrested, and placed on administrative leave by the Dudley-Charlton Regional School District. Authorities continue to investigate both cases, emphasizing the importance of parental vigilance and reporting concerning behavior. Both educators face serious legal consequences as their cases proceed through the court system.
