JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The CEO of a Jacksonville dance company is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old boy for months, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.

Victor Chrispin Jr., 31, is the owner of the Yohannas Performing Arts Company.

According to his arrest report, on Dec. 9, 2025, JSO was dispatched to a teen’s home, who police identified as the victim. Earlier that day, the teen saw Chrispin walking a dog near the teen’s apartment complex, and they began talking and went into Chrispin’s car for privacy. Someone found the teen in Chrispin’s car and filed a police report.

According to the arrest report, the teen told police:

“...He was having a sexual relationship with his teacher, the suspect, Victor Chrispin Junior...since October 14th 2025.”

The teen also told police that the relationship ended on Dec. 9, 2025, after the two were seen in the car.

The teen also said he told Chrispin he had “feelings” and “romantic interest” for him on Oct. 14, 2025.

The report states that Chrispin and the teen, talked through an application called “Locket Link.” Chrispin sent messages to a female who would then send the messages to the teen boy.

Officials said the teen and Chrispin had sexual incidents in a bathroom, library and Chrispin’s car, including an encounter on Dec. 9.

Police said love letters were found between Chrispin and the teen boy.

Chrispin “denied all allegations of sexual abuse towards the victim and stated that he was only a mentor to the victim.”

He was first charged on New Year’s Eve for an “authority figure solicits or engages in romantic relations with a student.”

Since the investigation, he was charged on Friday with an “authority figure solicits or engages in lewd conduct with a student.”
