MIAMI (WSVN) -- A Miami-Dade School employee has been denied bond, accused of a sickening scheme.

Forty-five-year-old Samuel Woodside faces several charges, including human trafficking.

According to police, he went to a Greyhound station in Northwest Miami-Dade to pick up what he believed was a 14-year-old girl he met online and allegedly planned to have sex with her. It would turn out that teenager was an undercover police officer.

Woodside is a custodian at Liberty City Elementary School. According to the school board, he resigned from his position.
