Holy Cross high School Coach Charged with Secretly Recording Staff
SAN ANTONIO – A former coach at Holy Cross High School has been arrested and faces charges related to the secret recording of individuals in his office. Armando Flores, 34, was taken into custody and charged with invasive visual recording following a police inquiry.
The investigation was triggered when a student reported a concerning conversation with Flores regarding a camera located in his office. According to a police report, Flores alluded to having viewed footage by referencing details about the student’s appearance – specifically, “I saw the color of your shirt and your hair was curled.”
The student instantly informed her volleyball coach, who subsequently discovered a camera concealed within a clock on Flores’ refrigerator. An SD card found inside the device contained images of the coach undressed, and also photos of other students who frequented the office.
Flores initially claimed the camera was intended for security purposes, stating it was non-functional due to the absence of an SD card. However, this claim was contradicted by the discovery of the card and its contents. The volleyball coach, who utilized the office as a changing space due to her part-time employment, promptly alerted school administrators.
Following a review of the evidence, flores was arrested and terminated from his position with the school.
Holy Cross of San Antonio released a statement expressing deep concern and support for those affected: “The Holy Cross community is profoundly saddened and sympathizes with all individuals affected by this deep betrayal of trust. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our paramount concern. We have fully cooperated with the SAPD throughout this investigation and are committed to ensuring justice is served.”
San Antonio Police Department investigators are urging anyone who believes they may have been recorded in Flores’ office to contact the Human Exploitation Unit at (210) 207-2370. Flores has been released on a $7,500 bond.
