A former employee at an Orlando area theme park and Central Florida teacher was convicted this month of attempting to meet a minor for sex.
Dennis Lee Line, 51, of Winter Springs, faces a minimum mandatory penalty of 10 years up to life in federal prison, a Department of Justice news release states.
Lee — a former Universal Orlando employee — taught at Oviedo High School for 18 years, ending in 2019, according to the New York Post.
Lee met who he believed to be a 15-year-old girl on an online dating application on Feb. 9. Later that day, the 15-year-old girl — who was actually an undercover police officer — and Line began sending text messages to each other. In the text messages, Line initiated a discussion about sex and meeting later that night so that he could teach her about sex and perform oral sex on her, according to the release.
