Marie-Jo Gordo, a former Orange County teacher, is under investigation after investigators found 28 adult films involving her and a former eighth-grade student.
The student’s parents discovered these films, which allegedly showed Gordo and their underage son indulging in s*xual acts across Central Florida between June and September 2023.
Charges and Resignation
Gordo resigned from an Orange County charter school in June before starting as an art instructor at another institution, despite facing federal accusations for three counts of engaging in s*xual conduct with a minor.
