HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has arrested Anthony Jenkins, 38, an Armwood High School teacher, on multiple charges including showing sexual content to students, possession of child pornography, and bestiality imagery.
The investigation began on April 9, 2025, when deputies received an anonymous tip alleging that Jenkins had shown videos and pictures of himself engaged in sexual acts to four juvenile victims. Detectives confirmed that Jenkins had shown this content to four juveniles, all of whom were his former students.
A search warrant executed on Jenkins’ phone not only confirmed the presence of the videos and pictures shown to the victims but also uncovered images of bestiality and child pornography.
“No child should ever have to carry the weight of this kind of trauma, especially at the hands of someone they were taught to trust,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “Thanks to the bravery of the victims and the hard work of our detectives, he is now behind bars.”
Jenkins was arrested on July 7, 2025, and is facing the following charges:
- Film, Distribute, or Possess Image or Video of Sexual Activity with an Animal (3 counts)
- Possession of Child Pornography (2 counts)
- Sell or Distribute Obscene Material to a Minor (7 counts)
Jenkins had been suspended from Armwood High School since the investigation began. This remains an active investigation.
