School Resource Officer, 42, Fired for Pulling Girl, 13, Out of Class, Declaring His Love for Her

Apparently this school has run out of teachers for the students to have relationships with, so now their turning to the inhouse cops, er, "resource officers." In this case we have a 42-year-old former teacher, turned school cop, who admitted that he pulled a 13-year-old girl out of class, took her to an office and told her that he loved her. Of course, being a normal teenager, she promptly freaked out and told a guidance counselor who told the principal. Here's more from TampaBay.com:

Christopher Magavero, 42, a Pasco sheriff's deputy since 2000, admitted making the statement, said Sheriff's Office spokesman Doug Tobin. Sheriff Bob White then fired him, citing conduct unbecoming an officer.

Magavero, who has been at River Ridge Middle since late 2004, pulled the girl out of class Wednesday and took her to an administrative assistant's office, where they were alone, Tobin said. Sitting across a desk from her, he told the girl his feelings.

The Sheriff's Office is conducting a criminal investigation to make sure nothing physical occurred between Magavero and the girl.

"We have no evidence that anything physical took place, no evidence that a crime occurred at this point," Tobin said. "But the deputy certainly committed an incredible error in judgment."
