Ruben Paulo Tirado, a football coach, was arrested on Wednesday morning, November 12, 2026, on serious criminal counts involving inappropriate conduct with a student.

School District Police took him into custody and booked him into the Palm Beach County Jail at around 10:37 a.m.

Ruben Tirado was a dedicated football coach at Seminole Ridge High School, where he served as an assistant coach specializing in mentoring the team’s quarterbacks.

He was a proud alumnus of Seminole Ridge Community High School.

During his own time as a student, he was a talented athlete on the basketball court. He was a dynamic player standing at 5’6″ and weighing about 145lbs.

He held the crucial positions of Point Guard and Shooting Guard.

I may not be big as other athletes, but that’s what they said about Kyler Murray or Steph Curry. I am motivated to play at the next level and will be an asset to any team. I am a type of player that never criticizes but encourages my teammates to be better. I always lead by example and will do what is best for a team. I am a dual athlete in football and basketball. I live by the saying “heart over height!”

Youth Sports Coach Tirado Jailed on Charges Involving Teen

Ruben Paulo Tirado was arrested on Wednesday on criminal charges involving inappropriate conduct with a student aged 12 to 16.

School District Police took him into custody and booked him into the Palm Beach County Jail.

Tirado faces felony charges of lewd and lascivious battery and soliciting sexual conduct as an authority figure.

The news spread quickly through the school community, shocking parents and students, and the school district issued a strong statement.

Any conduct that threatens the safety and well-being of our students is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. We will continue to fully cooperate with law enforcement to support the prosecution of this case to the fullest extent of the law.

The high school principal emailed the tragic news to all parents but withheld some details due to the ongoing active criminal investigation.

One parent mentioned it as a disgrace and suggested people shouldn’t do that and know their limits.

Worried parents immediately contacted their children, and most of the parents are thankful that Tirado doesn’t coach their children.

After I got the email, I text her right away and I was like, ‘You don’t have him?’ because she does weightlifting.

Tirado has also been let go from his position with the Acreage Athletic League, where he was a youth sports coach.

Parents found the news shocking, and they didn’t expect it to happen at the local school.

Once I found out, I’m asking my child, ‘Hey what’s going on? It’s crazy and it’s why I home schooled since the pandemic until this year.
