In Acámbaro, Guanajuato, a teacher identified as José Luis was permanently dismissed from Escuela Secundaria General No. 20 ‘Centéotl’ following the viral spread of social media videos. The footage, captured by students, depicts the arts educator engaging in suggestive physical contact and simulated sexual acts with minors inside a classroom.

Governor Libia Dennise García Muñoz Ledo confirmed the rescinding of the teacher’s contract and stated he is permanently barred from teaching within the state. The Secretaría de Educación de Guanajuato (SEG) is conducting a legal evaluation to determine if sufficient evidence exists to file formal criminal charges with the Fiscalía de Guanajuato.

In response to the incident, authorities have pledged to provide psychological support and accompaniment to the affected students and the school community. Meanwhile, parents have demanded that authorities pursue criminal prosecution to ensure the individual faces prison time.
