Christian School Teacher, Writer Charged With Molesting Middle School Student

A Florida Christian school teacher and conservative media writer has been charged with molesting one of his female students during Bible class.

Aaron Craig Gleason, who has frequently written in national publications about drag queens “grooming” children, faces a charge of lewd or lascivious molestation of a victim less than 12 years old, according to the Pensacola News Journal.

Niceville Police say the victim said that in December she came to Gleason’s desk to discuss a Bible class assignment. When they finished, she said that Gleason gave her a “side hug” and slid his hand from her back to buttocks and began caressing her buttocks with his thumb.

Two other students corroborated the victim’s account, police said. The girl also told investigators that Gleason “has made several comments that have made her feel uncomfortable.”

One such comment was telling her that she “looked cute” with a flower clip in her hair, followed immediately by, “Or are you just trying to be deceptive?” Those comments were also corroborated by another student.

Gleason has written for such outlets as The Daily Wire and The Imaginative Conservative, both of which removed his bio from their websites.

After starting work at Rocky Bayou Christian School in 2023, Gleason coached soccer in the middle school, Mid Bay News said. The school’s superintendent, Mike Mosley, sent an email to parents saying the one of its teachers had been arrested. The teacher “has been on paid administratove leave and off campus for two weeks,” Mosley wrote.

“Please pray for our school and students during this difficult time,” he said.

Gleason was released on a $75,000 bond after his arrest and has a court date on March 13, the News Journal said.
