Ahmed met the victim while working as his teacher at Country Club Middle School, at 18305 NW 75 Place, north of Miami Lakes, according to the Miami-Dade Schools Police Department.
Court records show police officers arrested Ahmed on April 17 on three charges: Offenses against students by authority figures, tampering with a witness, and child abuse. He was released on April 21 on a $22,500 bond.
Prosecutors plan to only charge Ahmed for offenses against students by authority figures, a second-degree felony, so the judge reduced his bond to $7,500 on Tuesday, court records show.
Attorney Jude Faccidomo, a former assistant public defender based in Coconut Grove, is representing Ahmed, records show.
Detectives were asking anyone with information about the case to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
