(SPRINGFIELD NEWS-LEADER) — An Ash Grove High School teacher charged with “sexual contact with a student” was told to stay out of that city and away from anyone under age 17.
William Nathan Herrington, 34, of Republic, was charged Monday with felony second-degree statutory sodomy, second-degree child molestation, and sexual contact with a student “on school property,” according to charging documents.
Allegations surfaced in October that Herrington, a social studies teacher, had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old female student.
Superintendent Kyle Collins called police after he was contacted by the parent of that student. He said the parent found “a handwritten note and several email messages that were of a sexual nature.”
