Two Dallas school district teachers are accused of engaging in sexual activity with several juvenile victims.
Mesquite police said Jesse and Virginia Castillo, a married couple, allegedly participated in sexual activity with minors who worked for their side business.
Until recently, the Castillos ran a business out of their Mesquite home in which they and their young workers threw parties for children and dressed up as fictional characters.
Police said the victims are female but investigators are still reviewing a mountain of electronic media found inside the Castillo home to identify additional victims.
A neighbor who let his teenage daughter work for the Castillos once said his daughter did not notice anything suspicious.
"Am I shocked? Yes. Am I upset? Yes. I just hate the idea that people do this," he said. "I hope he [Jesse] gets what's coming to him."
Jesse Castillo, 50, is charged with two counts of indecency with a child. He and his wife, Virginia Castillo, 46, both face one count of sexual performance by a child.
