The Pinal County Sheriff's Office arrested a principal at Four Peaks Elementary School Tuesday for luring teen girls online.

According to PCSO, 59-year-old Karl Judd Waggoner posted ads soliciting teens girls to go skinny dipping with him at his home.

A sex crimes detective conducted an undercover investigation, posing as a 14-year-old girl, and engaged in conversations with Waggoner where he discussed engaging in sexual acts.

“Even up until this weekend, Mr. Waggoner was posting ads online soliciting young girls for sex. Waggoner held a position of trust, spending decades educating middle and high school students in Texas. We are working with those law enforcement agencies to see if there are any victims out there. Considering the evidence, we are grateful we were able to arrest Waggoner and keep him from victimizing children in our county,” said Sheriff Mark Lamb.

Waggoner is being charged with luring and aggravated luring of a minor.
