NOT CHARGED | CHILD MOLESTATION –  State v. Mr. W. (DMC No.7266) (Pinal County Sheriff’s Office): Mr. W. was a teacher for Special Education students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. He was accused of improperly touching a student, and was put on Administrative Leave. We were able to show that the actual incident involved a 12-year old student who kept falling asleep in class. When Mr. W. went up to her and rubbed her back in order to wake her (with 30 other students in the room), she woke up and claimed that her bra strap had become undone. She then retracted some other allegations she had made against Mr. W. and no charges were brought against him. In addition, he had no adverse record placed on his teaching license. Lastly, he then transferred to teach at a local high school and was paid for all of the time he had been placed on Administrative Leave.
