On Tuesday, Margate Police and task force investigators executed a search warrant at Rivas’ home, where they “observed an excess of 100 images and/or videos” showing child sexual conduct, the report said.
Parents were notified of the arrest via voicemail from the principal on Wednesday, who said Rivas was reassigned by the district away from the school and students pending the investigation.
A judge gave Rivas an $82,500 bond and ordered him to wear a GPS, have no access to any devices with internet, and to stay away from children.
