MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- A South Florida student is opening up about allegations that a teacher at his school tried to seduce him through text messages.

"He just started texting me and out of nowhere. He started saying, I'm cute and stuff and started saying inappropriate things," said the 14-year-old student.

On the same day, a judge set a hefty bond of $450,000 for the accused, 29-year-old Slyvers Robinson, who taught at Harvard International Academy in Pembroke Pines.

Broward Sheriff's deputies say Robinson had started to take a special interest in a 9th grade student and got a hold of the student's cell phone number.

Robinson reportedly started messaging the student and became inappropriate when he started sending the student porn and asked for explicit pictures.

"He wanted me to send a shirtless picture. He sent pictures of him in underwear," said the alleged victim.

The victim's mother explained how she found out about it.

"He started telling me there's someone texting him stuff that is not right. I said stuff like what? He opened his phone and showed me all these messages and asked he has a v-card.  I said what the hell is a v-card. If he's a virgin. He tell him he liked him, he's cute. That he got swag. I said who is this. He said a teacher," said the student's mother.

When asked how she felt, she responded, "I wanted to kill him. I wanted to kill him. That's my baby, 14-years -old.  That's a boy. He's a grown ass man."

Robinson was taken into custody where at some point, deputies say he admitted to the charges but said he had the child's best interest at heart and was only trying to befriend him.

Robinson is facing charges of Transmission of Harmful Material to a Minor, Promoting Sexual Performance and Using a Computer to Seduce a Child.

The teens mom was shocked over the whole alleged incident. She, like police, wonder if more students will come forward with allegations.

"I'm going to make sure that I'm there for every court date. Nobody has to go through that. None. None at all," said the student's mother.

Aside from the hefty bond, Robinson cannot be around children, will be monitored through GPS and cannot be around children.

Anyone with information is urged to call Broward Crime Stoppers at (954) 493-TIPS.
