AVONDALE, AZ — A West Point High School teacher has been arrested and accused of trying to solicit sex from an underage girl.
Court paperwork shows 28-year-old Domenik Brewer was taken into custody after setting up a meeting with who he thought was an underage girl.
On Friday, Avondale police reportedly posted about a fictional 15-year-old girl to a website known to police to be a platform for child sex trafficking.
The officer posing as the girl received a text message from the defendant that afternoon.
The two exchanged ages, agreed to a price, and to meet at a location near Avondale Boulevard and McDowell Road.
When Brewer arrived at the location, police took him into custody without incident.
Brewer was arrested as part of an effort to target child prostitution and/or child predators between October 24th and October 27th. He was booked on one charge of child sex trafficking.
During his police interview, Brewer allegedly told police he was a coach for a Phoenix Suns youth basketball team and a permanent substitute teacher at West Point High School in Avondale but as of Wednesday, he was listed as a 10th-grade leadership teacher.
We reached out to the Suns Wednesday afternoon to confirm his employment and are awaiting a response.
Sources tell ABC15 Brewer was never employed with the Suns in any capacity.
The Tolleson Union High School District says Brewer was hired as a coach a year ago and he has been a permanent substitute teacher this school year. Police notified the district on Friday and Brewer's access was revoked.
The district says it will send letters to parents tonight and it is currently working with legal counsel for the next board meeting staffing discussion on November 19.
