Overview
- The Wylie Police Department arrested 32-year-old Zachary Neu and charged him with compelling prostitution of a person under 18 after an investigation led by its Criminal Investigations Division uncovered the alleged conduct.
- Investigators say Neu communicated inappropriately with a 2026 Wylie East graduate who is a minor and offered to buy alcohol and send money for lingerie in return for sexual contact.
- Wylie ISD confirmed Neu is no longer employed, notified Child Protective Services and the State Board for Educator Certification, and told families after coordinating with police.
- Authorities say there are no additional known victims at this time and are asking anyone with information to contact the Wylie Police Department directly.
- The case will proceed through the criminal process and could trigger separate administrative or certification reviews, raising renewed focus on educator boundaries and rules requiring staff to use official district communication channels with students.
