Florida Headmaster Accused Of Molesting Teen

WINTER HAVEN, FL -- An ordained minister and headmaster at a small, Christian school in central Florida has been accused of molesting a 15-year-old male student.

Thirty-four-year-old Charles Aguon of Davenport, who is known to students at Kingdom Preparatory School as “Pastor Tiger,” was charged with two counts of lewd molestation of a victim between 12 and 16 years old.

"He was being groomed by Pastor Tiger. It went from just grooming to kissing, kissing on the mouth, biting lips to simulated sex with their clothes on, to where he actually fondled and molested this 15-year-old," said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd in announcing the charges at a news conference on Wednesday. "He would do stuff like teaching him how to shave his private parts."

Judd said Aguon supervised a staff of about 9 to 12 people and also served as the football coach in addition to teaching seventh and eighth graders at the k-12 school which is located at 301 Charlotte Rd. in Auburndale, Florida.

"I don't know if any of this conduct occurred on campus at this time," said Judd, who is asking for families of any other students to come forward if they are aware of suspicious activity at the school.

Aguon, who has been at the school for about two years, was ordained through the Church of God based in Cleveland, Tennessee. He is also an associate pastor at Miracle Tabernacle of Praise, which is located on the same 8-acre property as the school.

The headmaster was arrested around 1:30 p.m. Monday afternoon at the school, about two hours after a phone call took place between Aguon and the student, who confronted the educator during the conversation, according the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

The boy told Aguon he felt uncomfortable when Aguon kissed and touched him to which the headmaster replied: "Oh, the loving on you," the sheriff's office said in describing the call.

Aguon also allegedly told the boy, "You know I was only messing with you," the sheriff's office said of the conversation.

The boy told sheriff's deputies during an "emergency forensic interview" there were numerous incidents in which Aguon simulated sex with him and touched his penis. The boy recalled specific incidents in November and December of last year.

"He admitted that maybe some of my conduct was inappropriate. Maybe?" Judd said of the headmaster. "Here Einstein. let me give you a news flash."
