Texas school superintendent arrested in sting in which officers posed as teens
A Texas school superintendent sent lewd photos to an undercover officer posing online as a 15-year-old girl he planned to meet with, authorities said.
Michael Keith Stevens, 47, superintendent of the Itasca Independent School District, was arrested Thursday and accused of online solicitation of a minor, according to court records.
Itasca Independent School District is about 55 miles south of Dallas.
Stevens was detained at the Harris County jail Friday afternoon. Online records indicate his bond was set at $100,000.
It was not immediately clear if he had retained an attorney. Stevens’ relatives could not immediately be reached for comment.

Why does he even look like someone who would do this? Ugh.
