A 21-year-old assistant football coach and educational aide at Aubrey High School has been arrested on charges including sexual assault of a child and possessing 50 or more images of child sexual abuse material, following an investigation into an alleged improper relationship with a student. Wesley Huber was booked into the Denton County jail Monday and released on a $30,000 bond, according to police.
Huber faces three charges stemming from the case: improper relationship between an educator and student, sexual assault of a child, and possession of 50 or more images depicting child sexual abuse, according to Aubrey police as reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The Aubrey Police Department received a report from the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services on September 21 flagging a possible relationship between Huber and a student, and the investigation that followed led to his arrest last Monday. Huber resides in Providence Village, per the same account.
Aubrey ISD placed Huber on leave once the allegations surfaced, and he has since resigned, the district said. In a statement, the district said it will continue cooperating with appropriate authorities regarding the investigation, adding that Texas Penal Code protects the disclosure of certain personnel information in this situation. The district said it takes these matters very seriously and that its commitment to the safety and education of students remains its highest priority.
A Former Star Athlete Turned Coach and Aide
Huber's ties to Aubrey High School run deeper than his job title suggests. According to WFAA, Huber served as an assistant coach on the varsity football team and as an educational aide, also known as a teacher's aide; he was licensed for the aide role through the Texas Education Agency's certification portal. District web records had listed him on the varsity coaching staff before officials removed him from campus.
Huber graduated from Aubrey High School in 2023. He joined the district as an aide and assistant coach after graduation.
Notably, Huber's TEA license expired in August, weeks before DFPS filed its report and before his arrest at the end of September. Aubrey police have said the investigation remains ongoing, and it is unclear whether additional charges could follow.
Severe Felony Exposure Under Texas Law
The charges Huber faces carry substantial prison time under Texas statute. An improper relationship between an educator and a student is a second-degree felony under Texas Penal Code § 21.12, punishable by two to 20 years in state prison and a fine of up to $10,000, according to legal analysis published by FindLaw. That law applies to any primary or secondary school employee who engages in sexual conduct with an enrolled student, regardless of the student's age.
Separately, possessing 50 or more visual depictions of child sexual abuse material is a first-degree felony under Texas Penal Code § 43.26, carrying a five-to-99-years-or-life prison range, according to legal analysis from Varghese Summersett. Texas updated its possession statutes in 2025 to cover computer-generated images virtually indistinguishable from a real child.
State Reporting Rules Add Regulatory Layer
The case also unfolds against a backdrop of tightened state oversight of school employees. Under Senate Bill 571, enacted in 2025, school superintendents are legally required to report any qualifying allegation of educator misconduct to the Texas Education Agency within 48 hours, according to state reporting guidelines issued by the agency.
Earlier this year, the Texas Education Agency established a dedicated Inspector General for Educator Misconduct to oversee statewide investigations, certification sanctions, and placement on the state's Do Not Hire Registry, according to a Texas AFT policy update.
Part of a Wider Pattern in Denton County
Huber's arrest adds to a string of educator misconduct cases that have surfaced across Denton County this year. A campus police officer in neighboring Sanger ISD was arrested in January on four felony charges, including improper relationship between an educator and a student, Hoodline previously reported in its coverage of a fatal Sanger ISD bus crash.
