Former PBC Teacher Arrested On Sex Charges Out Of Canada

Authorities say that a former elementary teacher from Palm Beach County has been arrested on multiple sex charges involving children.

U.S. Marshals arrested 55-year-old Owen Headley at his home in Delray Beach on a warrant out of Canada for charges that included sexual assault, incest and exploitation of minors.

Court records show that the Department of Justice coordinated the arrest. Marshals allegedly entered the home after Headley allegedly refused to turn himself in and hid inside.

Headley, who is expected in federal court on Wednesday for an extradition hearing, was a fifth grade teacher at Hammock Point Elementary School in Boca Raton. 

Officials from the Palm Beach County School District said he had not taught at the school last year or at the start of this year.
