According to the city, the company is in the final year of a four-year contract with them. Chrispin Jr. was removed from his CEO position with the Yohannas Performing Arts Company by the organization’s board of directors.
According to his arrest report, on Dec. 9, 2025, JSO was dispatched to a teen boy’s home, who police identified as the victim.
The report states that 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.
Tom Hackney, News4JAX’s crime and safety analyst, said this recent incident may lead to some tough discussions for all parents.
“It’s uncomfortable but necessary...Parents can say, ‘Here’s what happened in this case, but I just want to lay out a plan for you to make sure that A: nobody is ever talking to you like this, but if something like this happens, you can talk to me about it. You can come to me and tell me,’” Hackney said.
Hackney adds that his experience working in law enforcement for decades has led him to believe that parents should talk about adults and appropriate inactions, grooming and other predatory behavior as soon as possible.
Chrispin “denied all allegations of sexual abuse toward the victim and stated that he was only a mentor to the victim.”
He was first charged on New Year’s Eve on the grounds of being an “authority figure [who] solicited or engaged in romantic relations with a student.”
He was being held on a $250,000 bond.
His next court appearance is Jan. 22.
Duval County Schools also confirmed Chrispin was employed by the school district from 2017 to 2019 at Bridge to Success Academy. He resigned in 2019.
