An elementary school teacher in Brevard County, Fla., accused of molesting several students allegedly offered grades or money for sex from boys at the school, according to investigators.
Daniel Cliatt, 29, was arrested after investigators said he molested a 13-year-old boy four times a week at an after school program at Endeavour Elementary.
The boy told police that Cliatt would show him homosexual pornography videos and then perform sexual acts on him in a classroom, according to an earlier Local 6 News report.
Since police investigated the original case, five other alleged victims have come forward.
One of the victims said that the abuse did not just happen at Endeavour Elementary School but also at Cliatt's house, Local 6 News reported.
Police and school board officials are now looking into whether students who allegedly declined Cliatt's advances suffered academically.
