A Long Island elementary school teacher is accused of requesting sexually explicit photos from who he thought was a 13-year-old girl.

Wading River Elementary School teacher Mark Verity, 37, was arrested by Suffolk County Police Friday, Oct. 17, hours after he was allegedly caught on a livestream admitting to engaging in sexually explicit conversations with a purported minor, as Daily Voice reported.

On Thursday, Oct. 16, the vigilante group Predator Poachers Long Island posted a video claiming it had confronted the teacher during a sting operation. In the clip, Verity allegedly admits to engaging in a sexually explicit conversation with a man posing as a 13-year-old girl.

“We talked about touching, kissing, and sex,” he tells the group. “I know it was wrong. I know I messed up.”
