Recently fired Fall River teacher charged with obscene matter to minor after investigation

A former Fall River school teacher that was recently terminated after disturbing text messages surfaced has been charged.

According to court records, 29-year-old Daniel Levin has been charged with Obscene Matter to Minor.

Last week, Atlantis Charter School issued an email to parents from Executive Director Robert Beatty concerning the disturbing allegations.

“Earlier today, the school received sufficient information to determine that an Upper School staff member was inappropriately communicating online with someone the staff member believed was a high school student. The staff member has been immediately terminated, and the school has filed reports with both the Fall River Police Department and the Department of Children and Families.

“Our most important responsibility is the safety and wellbeing of the students we serve. We understand how upsetting these allegations are, and that is why we have taken swift action in response.

“Because this ongoing investigation is now a police matter, we are unable to release any additional information on this incident at this time. We will keep our community informed as circumstances allow.

“I want to reiterate that the safety of our students is our top priority. Students are always encouraged to report any incidents or allegations of wrongdoing to adults they trust. Families are always welcome to contact the school by email or at (508) 646-6410.”

Screen shots of a reported social media conversation between a former faculty member and another person circulated online with disturbing content.

The Fall River District Court Clerk stated that Levin is scheduled to appear in court on December 16th.
