John Gray, 60, the president of a school board in Goshen, Indiana, resigned on Sunday after being arrested during a “catch-a-predator” sting operation in a neighboring state, where he was hoping to meet an 11-year-old girl, Local 12 News reports.
In a statement posted on its website, the district said, “A video posted Saturday evening on YouTube shows John Gray, Goshen Local Schools board president, being handcuffed by law enforcement in Indiana. The content of the video is deeply disturbing to our entire school district and Goshen Local School community.”
The school added that the incident occurred “outside of the school district” and that there’s an ongoing investigation.
Footage of Gray’s arrest was posted on YouTube by Predator Catchers Indianapolis.
