From the Baltimore County Police Department:
Baltimore County Police have charged a Havre De Grace man in connection with an inappropriate relationship he had with a 17-year-old female student.
On May 14, Baltimore County Police became aware that a Towson High School teacher had been involved in an inappropriate relationship with a student at the school. The student told investigators that the teacher would drive her to areas that included Cromwell Valley Park, Roland Park, and Wymann Park. He also drove her to work and home. In March, the relationship became physical.
The student described the physical contact between her and the teacher as kissing and the teacher touching her in inappropriate areas over her clothing. She did not touch the teacher in an inappropriate area.
Investigators reviewed emails sent between the teacher and the student. The review indicated references to kissing and sexualized writing. Nothing in the review indicated any unreported sexual contact or sexual acts.
The investigation indicated that the contact between the teacher and the student did not involve sexual intercourse.
The teacher has been identified as 36-year-old Richard James Hanna of the 4000 block of Rock Run Road 21078. He has been charged with sexual abuse of a minor and related charges. He was released on $10,000 bail.
Very sad the teacher could not attract a legal aged woman. Hope the student has learned a lesson that teachers until she is out of High School and of legal age are “Off Limits”.
When you say legal age, what is the legal age in Maryland? Legal for what? I believe the age of consent in Maryland is 16. This might not apply to someone who is within the control and supervision of another such as a school teacher, police or correctional officer etc..
“Hope the student has learned a lesson that teachers until she is out of High School and of legal age are “Off Limits”. ” – I would think its the TEACHER that should have learned the lesson…….
Oh, by the way, his bond amount is the same as the guy that started all the dumpster fires……..
Hey teacher leave those kids alone.
some system when it is the behavior specialist for the harford county board of ed its swept under the rug, because female rapes male its ok, some system. another weak states attorney office
