Asst. Principal Accused Of Telling Student To Videotape Sex

DELAND, Fla. -- Prosecutors say an assistant principal at DeLand High School tried to get a student to videotape herself having sex. The state attorney said Tyrone Tinsley also asked two girls to have sex with each other.


When students at DeLand High School get into trouble, they have to see the assistant principal in charge of discipline. According to charging paperwork, a trip to Tinsley's office could get you much more than detention.

Tyrone Tinsley's family appears to be standing behind him as he faces two felony charges, calling the charges lies. The case concerns his conduct at DeLand High School two years ago.


According to prosecutors, when a student spoke to Tinsley about a bad break up, he asked her "if she ever taped herself having sex with her boyfriend" and told her to try it "so he could watch the tape."

Prosecutor also wrote that he asked that same teen and another girl "if they would get together with each other."

Tinsley has taught at DeLand since 1981. He's been an assistant principal for the past ten years. He was moved to the district office when an allegation surfaced in November 2004.

A third student claimed he asked her about oral sex.

The sheriff's office recommended charges. The State Attorney's Office did not end up filing on that case, but their investigation led to the charges filed Monday.

Tinsley is still on the Volusia County payroll. In fact, taxpayers will keep paying him at least until the criminal charges are resolved.

Prosecutors first received case work from the sheriff's office in February 2005, 15 months ago. A spokesperson for the State Attorney's Office said the investigation took so long, because they had a difficult time locating witnesses.

Right on Tiki, but if this scum is found guilty he better never be allowed to get within 100 miles of another school. Piece of trash (if guilty).

What a shocker....it happened in Florida.

I'm telling you it's the heat. If you live down here in Florida too long the heat fries you're brain. The cutoff point is 5 years. I lived in Florida for 4 years and then moved back up north because I starting feeling the effects of the brain-fry due to the heat. I stayed away for 3 years and now I'm back to tempt fate once again. I'll most likely be moving back up north again in a few years just to avoid having my brain completely fried by the extreme heat in this hell on earth.
