MESQUITE (WBAP/KLIF) – A middle school administrator in Mesquite is accused of sexually assaulting a child.
Authorities say James Langle, an Assistant Vice Principal at Vanston Middle School was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a family member. It’s believed that the victim was not a student at the school.
The school district says Langle has been placed on administrative leave and that if the allegations are true, it will take the strongest action possible. The district released the following statement:
Mesquite ISD was shocked to learn of the allegations and subsequent charges against Mr. Langle. While the alleged abuse appears limited to the home, the charges are extremely disturbing and concerning to us. Should the allegations prove to be true, Mesquite ISD will take the strongest possible action. Mr. Langle is on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation, and we have made the proper notification to the State Board of Educator Certification. Mr. Langle’s alleged actions should in no way reflect negatively on the thousands of dedicated Mesquite ISD employees who remain focused on educating and supporting our students.
