A Clark County School District campus monitor arrested on lewdness with a child charges met with a 13-year-old girl to kiss on the grounds of Schofield Middle School in Las Vegas, police said.
An arrest report for Antonio Vaughn, 43, also states he was previously warned by school administrators about making contact with students via social media in May 2021, November 2022 and December 2025.
“Two warnings were for communicating with students through an unapproved outside communication such as Instagram and TikTok,” school police said.
Vaughn is charged with two counts of lewdness with a child under 14 and single counts of child abuse, contacting a pupil by person of authority for sex, luring a child, child abuse and destroying or concealing evidence.
Vaughn’s arrest report notes police were first called by the child’s mother in February. The woman told detectives she discovered inappropriate messages between Vaughn and the youth on the child’s phone. The girl and Vaughn, she said, were calling each other “baby.” A Child Protective Services employee later interviewed the girl.
“On two occasions, (the youth) and Vaughn met in a counselor’s room/vacant office inside the school and made out,” police said, summarizing what the child told CPS.
Police said they examined screen shots of conversations between Vaughn and the child on social media, affirming in their view that Vaughn was communicating inappropriately with the child.
“In the back-and-forth conversations the word ‘baby’ and ‘I love you’ is said numerous times,” police said.
Police reviewed video surveillance from the school as well. They said it showed Vaughn and the child in a hallway leading to the vacant office where the girl told authorities he kissed her.
Police said they obtained search warrants for Vaughn’s phone and social media accounts, leading to police securing pages of messages between the two. A partially redacted TikTok chat history in the report lists a series of messages between Vaughn and the girl.
One message reads: “What ever we talk about or do is between us we can’t tell okay we have to take it to the grave but when I see you I vision me kissing every part of your body in a sexual way!!”
Another message reads: “You don’t understand how pretty you are too me I love everything about you.”
Yet another reads: “when I sleep I always think about your eyes your lips and the way you grabbed my face.”
The communications happened after school hours, police said. When detectives interviewed Vaughn, he denied any wrongdoing.
“Vaughn has told (the girl) ‘I love you’ but in a friendly passing manner that doesn’t mean anything just as he would any other student,” police said.
When presented with evidence of communications between him and the child, Vaughn “was adamant that was his old account that he deleted, and he was not the one in the conversations that had taken place.”
Vaughn denied ever going into the vacant office with the girl. He said he led her there on one occasion so she could make a phone call to a family member when the child was having difficulties with other students.
