Authorities say a Radnor Township Middle School paraprofessional was arrested Thursday morning after Texas officials accused him of sexually assaulting an underage victim. Michael Robinson, 43, was taken into custody by a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force and Radnor police after he was spotted on the 200 block of Windermere Avenue in Wayne, investigators said.
According to investigators, the case traces back to an August 2024 trip to Tyler, Texas, when Robinson allegedly traveled there after first meeting the juvenile online and then sexually assaulted the victim over the course of a weekend.
Arrest in Radnor
Robinson was arrested around 7:30 a.m. Thursday and taken to the Radnor Township Police Department for processing before being transported to the George W. Hill Correctional Facility, where he is being held pending extradition to Texas, according to NBC10 Philadelphia. The outlet reports that members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, working with Radnor officers, located Robinson and arrested him without incident.
Allegations and indictment
Patch reports that investigators say Robinson first met the underage victim online, then traveled to Tyler in August 2024 and sexually assaulted the child over a weekend. Local television coverage adds that authorities say he was wanted on a charge described as “Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child Under 15” 6abc.
School and community response
NBC10 Philadelphia notes that Robinson was employed as a paraprofessional at Radnor Township Middle School at the time of the alleged assault. Reporters say they reached out to the Radnor Township School District for comment, but no official statement was available at the time of publication.
What law enforcement said
“Crimes against children are some of the most serious warrants our task force investigates,” Robert Clark, Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal for the Eastern Pennsylvania Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force, said, according to Patch. Clark said the arrest highlights the task force’s focus on finding and arresting suspects wanted on child sexual assault charges.
Next steps
Robinson remains held at the George W. Hill Correctional Facility while officials arrange extradition to Smith County, Texas, where prosecutors returned an indictment in December 2025, according to reporting. The timing of his extradition will depend on paperwork and coordination between Delaware County and Texas authorities, and Robinson is expected to be transferred once that process is complete 6abc.
Local context
The arrest comes amid a series of high-profile cases in the region involving adults connected to schools or youth sports who have been accused of sexual misconduct, a trend that has increased scrutiny of hiring and supervision practices. The Philadelphia Inquirer has previously reported on similar cases and the fallout that typically follows such allegations.
