Western Pennsylvania High School Teacher Charged Over Alleged Sexual Text Messages With 16-Year-Old Student

A teacher at Beaver Falls High School in western Pennsylvania has been charged in connection with what police describe as an inappropriate relationship with a student, according to CBS Pittsburgh. The station reported that the 24-year-old teacher was charged this week with corruption of minors, unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors with sexual contact, and criminal use of a communication facility.

Citing police paperwork, CBS Pittsburgh reported that the high school's principal, a mandated reporter under Pennsylvania law, received information that the teacher had engaged in sexual contact with a 16-year-old student through text messages. Investigators alleged the conduct went on for roughly two weeks at the start of June, according to the outlet.

The charges are allegations, and the reporting does not indicate that the case has been resolved in court. Further details, including the status of the case and any response from the school district, are available in the original CBS Pittsburgh story.
