Crime and Education

Palm Beach County deputies arrested former Donna Klein Jewish Academy science teacher Elias Gordon Farley, 26, on Dec. 4, alleging he used a shared Google Doc to secretly communicate with and groom a student before engaging in sexual acts at the Boca Raton campus and his apartment. An arrest affidavit cites corroborating surveillance video, a search-warrant find matching the student’s description, and a school report after a staffer saw bruises; Farley is held on $500,000 bond on charges including unlawful sexual activity with a minor and offense against a student by an authority figure.
