Ex-Substitute Teacher Offers Drugs To Middle School Girls In Exchange For Sexual Favors

A former substitute teacher has been arrested and charged in Florida for offering drugs and other items to minor girls in exchange for cash or sexual favors.

Enreeka Nalasco, 32, has also been accused of offering a 12-year-old girl a vape cigarette on one occasion and raping her in his car, the arrest report indicated, as per NBC 6.

Nalasco worked as a substitute teacher at a Miami Beach high school in 2018 but was fired for inappropriately contacting a student through social media, according to Miami Herald.

School resource officers began investigating Nalasco's connection with underage girls after several students of the Nautilus Middle School were found having narcotics and electronic vape pens in their possession.

The girls, aged 11 to 14, provided similar stories of a man named Swaggy contacting them through Snapchat and offering vape pens, marijuana, marijuana cards and nicotine, the report said. Some of the girls also claimed he made them uncomfortable and asked for sexual favors.

Investigators learned that Swaggy was Nalasco, who would drive to neighborhood parks and to the homes of young girls to sell the items.

One girl, 12, said Nalasco sold her a vape for $40. She eventually said she blocked him on Snapchat after he called her pretty and said he wanted to kiss her.

The report included accounts of two other girls, aged 12 and 11, who said Nalasco offered to give them narcotics if they gave him "kisses inside his vehicle."

Police said Nalasco once sold a vape cigarette to a 12-year-old girl in a gas station's parking lot in Miami Shores. The same girl contacted him two weeks later for another pen. When they met again, Nalasco forced the girl to have sex with him in the backseat of his car before kicking her out.

Nalasco was arrested on May 13 and remained behind bars without bond Monday.

The arrest report said he has been charged with human trafficking, traveling to meet a minor, certain uses of computer services or devices prohibited, unlawful use of a communications device and contributing to the delinquency of a child.

"Miami-Dade County Public Schools is deeply disturbed by the troubling allegations made against this former employee," the district said in a statement. "This individual has not been employed with M-DCPS since 2018 and is precluded from seeking future employment with this District."
