Fort Worth ISD employee accused of improper relationship with 15-year-old student in Hill County, officials say
A Fort Worth Independent School District baseball coach has turned himself in for allegedly having an improper relationship with a teen student in Hill County, authorities said Thursday.
The Hill County Sheriff's Office said the charges against 29-year-old Adrian Buruato stem from when he was employed as a head baseball coach and junior high history teacher for Itasca ISD during the 2023-2024 school year. HCSO said the victim has been identified as a 15-year-old girl who attended the school.
According to the website for O.D. Wyatt High School in Fort Worth ISD, Buruato is currently the head baseball coach.
Following an investigation into the accusations against Buruato, an arrest warrant was issued. On March 12, Buruato turned himself in to authorities on charges of indecency with a child-sexual contact and improper relationship between an educator and student. Both are second-degree felonies.
HCSO said Buruato was booked into the Hill County jail on a $300,000 bond.
The sheriff's office shared concerns over more possible victims and asked anyone with information to call 254-582-5313.
CBS News Texas has reached out to Fort Worth ISD for comment and has yet to hear back.
