A former Baltimore educator once recognized as Teacher of the Year is now facing serious charges after an undercover investigation in Harford County.
According to investigators, the former teacher allegedly engaged in explicit online conversations with someone he believed was a 15-year-old boy. Authorities say the person was actually an undercover detective.
Court documents claim the conversations quickly became sexual and eventually led to plans to meet in person in Bel Air. Investigators also allege the suspect encouraged secrecy during the conversations.
