Police said it’s believed that Wolfe sexually abused a child under 18 for years and gave them obscene material as well.
They also believe similar crimes may have occurred in Altamonte Springs as well and are working with Altamonte Springs police to identify any additional victims.
The Altamonte Springs Police Department said Wolfe was an employee with the agency until he “separated” from the department in 2010, and Groveland police believe any incidents that took place in Altamonte Springs happened after he left the department.
In 2021, Wolfe was hired as a custodian for Lake County School District and became a school safety officer at Mount Dora High School in August of this year.
The school district said did not say whether Wolfe was still employed with the district, but noted that employment termination recommendations were presented to the Lake County school board at their regular meetings, and the next meeting was Monday, Aug. 28.
If you have any information regarding Wolfe, the case, or any additional victims, call Groveland Police Department at 352-429-4166, or call Crimeline and leave an anonymous tip at 1-800-423-TIPS (8477).
