Officers arrested Mario Javier Delgado Jr., 31, of Edinburg, who is accused of engaging in a sexual relationship with a student. Delgado confessed when confronted by the principal, a dean, and a counselor.

“Yes,” Delgado said, according to the criminal complaint against him. “I did it with her once.”

Delgado remained at the Hidalgo County jail on Wednesday night and couldn’t be reached for comment.

During an interview at the Children’s Advocacy Center in Mission, the student said the sexual relationship started in March 2020 and continued until April 2021.

“The victim describes several incidents where she had sexual intercourse with Mr. Delgado on several occasions inside his car, at his house, and she performed oral sex on him at the Juan Diego Catholic Academy,” according to the criminal complaint.

In one instance, the student said that she performed oral sex on Delgado in his classroom.

“Victim stated she would also exchange nude videos and pictures of herself with the defendant,” according to the criminal complaint.

Officers arrested Delgado on Tuesday. He’s charged with improper relationship between educator and student, a second-degree felony.

A judge set bond at $100,000, according to Hidalgo County jail records.

If convicted, Delgado faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine not to exceed $10,000.

    Yep, this is typical of catholic programs and in general. That is why one should turn to Christianity, stop worshipping statues or asking a man ‘father’ to forgive, there is only one real FATHER.

      Catholic schools and statutes have nothing to do with this situation.

      He was actually a “Christian”. He goes to my church. Believe me we were all shocked when we find out.

    Teacher, student, and student’s parents are all guilty.

      Don’t victim blame, she is a child and he is an adult who was very aware of his actions.

    • Miguel on June 17, 2021 at 9:12 pm

      If u trully believe the student is to blame, your brain is the size of a nut.

    are you seriously victim blaming right now?? AND accusing two girls with absolutely no proof? you’re vile. if you’re so confident with your accusations maybe stop hiding behind anonymity and say it to our faces. you’re disgusting.

  7. EpsteinDidntKillHimself on June 17, 2021 at 9:51 pm

    That’s No Good! He should be banned from any job imo he’s just gonna touch all the girls

  8. DelgadoEpstein on June 17, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    He used to go to RGV Christian Church. Its located in Weslaco Texas. Look up about ICOC Cult survivors or stories and see how manipulative that place is.

  11. Opinion on June 18, 2021 at 3:49 pm

    I Believe it was a Consexual Relationship due to the long term it lasted for although it wasn’t correct to do what he did because he’s a Teacher

    • Opinion on June 18, 2021 at 3:53 pm

      It’s He’s an Adult he should’ve know what’s right and wrong

    Mathew 18:6 goes over this and comes to mind. I pray the Lord forgives him as he has time to think about this and
    truly repent. About ICOC, True I used to go to that church. It’s truly discouraging hearing this news about him but not everyone in that church is manipulative.
