Radnor Middle School employee arrested for sexual assault of a minor in Texas, authorities say
Michael Robinson, 43, was a paraprofessional at the middle school, officials said. He was arrested Thursday morning in Wayne.
An employee of Radnor Middle School was arrested Thursday morning and charged with sexually assaulting a child in Texas, authorities say.
Michael Robinson, 43, was taken into custody by U.S. marshals and Radnor police a block from the Wayne middle school around 7:30 a.m., according to a spokesperson for the marshals service.
Robinson is a paraprofessional at Radnor Middle School, law enforcement officials said. He was wanted by Texas authorities in connection with the assault, which officials said occurred in 2024 after Robinson met the victim online.
A spokesperson for the Radnor Township School District said that it is cooperating with law enforcement and that it has not received information indicating that Robinson behaved inappropriately with Radnor students.
“Parents of the limited number of children to whom the employee was assigned were contacted by the administration immediately,” the spokesperson said, adding that Robinson has been placed on leave amid the investigation into his behavior.
Law enforcement officials said Robinson traveled to Tyler, Texas, to meet the victim, whom he assaulted over the course of a weekend.
He was indicted by prosecutors in Smith County, Texas, in December and charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child under 15 years old.
Robinson is being held at the George W. Hill Correctional Facility in Delaware County, awaiting extradition to Texas.
