Pennsylvania middle school employee wanted in Texas on child sex assault charges arrested
A Pennsylvania school district employee wanted in Texas on child sexual assault charges was arrested by U.S. Marshals on Thursday in Delaware County.
Michael Robinson, 43, was arrested around 7:30 a.m. Thursday in the 200 block of Windermere Avenue in Wayne, the U.S. Marshals Service said in a press release. He's being held at the George W. Hill Correctional Facility and is awaiting extradition to Texas, according to the federal law enforcement agency.
U.S. Marshals said Robinson traveled to Tyler, Texas, in August 2024 to meet a minor under 15 years old whom he met online and allegedly sexually assaulted them over the course of a weekend.
Robinson was indicted by the Smith County District Attorney's Office in December 2025, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
Robinson worked as a paraprofessional at Radnor Township Middle School, according to the federal law enforcement agency. A spokesperson for the school district confirmed that a paraprofessional at the middle school had been arrested and that the district is fully cooperating with law enforcement.
Robinson was put on leave and will not have any contact with students, the spokesperson said in an email. The district completed all required background checks when Robinson was hired. At this time, the district is not aware of any misconduct involving Radnor students, and the district contacted parents of students assigned to Robinson right away, according to the spokesperson.
Counseling resources are available to support students as needed.
