Matthew Hike, Livingstone Academy Teacher Arrested for Molestation of Child More Than 50 Times
NLT ^ | 5/8/2022

A teacher and coach at Livingstone Academy were arrested for presenting pornographic photographs and sexually touching a student, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

After the grandmother of a juvenile student alleged her granddaughter had been inappropriately handled by a teacher at the school, Livingstone Academy contacted HCSO. Detectives identified the culprit, Matthew Hike, 33, via their investigation. Hike had also shared multiple sexual photographs with the child, according to detectives.

Hike faces charges of Lewd or Lascivious Molestation (x5) as well as Selling or Distributing Obscene Material to a Minor (x3).

“Those adults placed in positions of trust who prey on our children and victimize them have no place in our community,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “This suspect did not have the student in his class, but instead targeted the juvenile in the hallway, gaining the victim’s trust and friendship before committing this heinous crime.”

Hike was not just a teacher at Livingstone Academy for disabled students, but also an assistant football coach at Bloomingdale High School.

Investigators said a juvenile victim said Hike molested him more than 50 times while coaching his football team at Bloomingdale High School in Valrico.

Did Meritless Garland immediately declare the parents who support this arrest “domestic terrorists”?

Nothing wrong here that 80 grains won’t fix.

Fortunately, prison often does the job that those tasked with administering justice won’t.

That’s if he’s prosecuted. The Biden administration is looking for these kind of sick twisted scum bags.

Wow. There are two different children targeted who attended a school for students with disabilities. What a disgusting poc .

“This suspect did not have the student in his class, but instead targeted the juvenile in the hallway, gaining the victim’s trust and friendship before committing this heinous crime.”

Hike was not just a teacher at Livingstone Academy for disabled students, but also an assistant football coach at Bloomingdale High School.

2 locations actually

“Hillsborough County Investigators say Matthew Hike molested students at two schools over the course of five years. The latest was a student from Bloomingdale High School in Valrico.

Hike, a former assistant football coach at Bloomingdale High, is accused of molesting one of his players more than 50 times between 2017 and 2021. The student was under the age of 18 when these incidents occurred.

Two weeks ago, Hike was arrested on separate charges for showing pornographic images and inappropriately touching a student at Livingstone Academy, where he was a teacher at a private school for children with disabilities.”

“ This isn’t the first time a teacher has been arrested at Bloomingdale Senior High School in Valrico in recent years.

In 2021, Alberto Rivera Claudio, a Spanish teacher was arrested and accused of sexually abusing a student for more than a year. In 2018, Mark William Ackett, a teacher and girls’ track coach, was charged with committing video voyeurism for filming girls in a changing room.

Bloomingdale senior Shelby Wingo told 10 Tampa Bay, “It’s just becoming a running joke that we just let pedophiles into our school.”
