A teacher’s aide at a Delaware County middle school is accused of traveling to Texas in order to sexually assault a child.
Resources for victims of sexual assault are available through the National Sexual Violence Resources Center and the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline at 800-656-4673.
Michael Robinson, a 43-year-old employee at Radnor Township Middle School, was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Radnor, Pennsylvania, officials announced on Thursday.
In August 2024, Robinson traveled to Tyler, Texas, after meeting an underage victim online, according to investigators.
Robinson then sexually assaulted the victim over the course of a weekend, officials said.
In December 2025, Robinson was indicted by the Smith County District Attorney’s Office and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
On Thursday, Feb. 26, around 7:30 a.m., the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and Radnor Police spotted Robinson on the 200 block of Windermere Avenue in Radnor, officials said. He was then arrested and transported to the Radnor Township Police Department for processing.
He is currently being held at the George W. Hill Correctional Facility and awaiting extradition to Texas.
A spokesperson for the Radnor Township School District confirmed that Robinson worked at Radnor Township Middle School as a teacher’s aide and was arrested before classes began on Thursday.
“The District is cooperating fully with law enforcement. At this time, we have no information indicating misconduct involving district students,” the spokesperson wrote. “Parents of the limited number of children to whom the employee was assigned were contacted by the administration immediately.”
Robinson was placed on leave and will not have contact with students, according to the spokesperson. The spokesperson also said all required background checks were completed when Robinson was hired.
Counseling resources are available to support students in need, according to the spokesperson.
