Timothy Allen Rhodes isn't likely to be getting the Teacher of the Year Award from his now former employee Pleasant Plains Elementary, especially since he was charged Thursday with sex abuse of a minor, second-degree child abuse, second-degree assault and third-degree sex offense.
The school system's policy is to place employees facing criminal charges on administrative leave, but Herndon said he could not confirm Rhodes' employment status because it is a personnel matter.
According to Baltimore County police, the girl and her mother contacted police on April 11, after the girl told her mother she'd been abused and indicated that she wanted to change schools. Citing student privacy concerns, Herndon declined to say whether the girl attends Pleasant Plains Elementary.
Rhodes' wife watched the girl before and after school to help the victim's mother, who was going to school, police said.
Police say the abuse occurred between 20 to 30 times, and also included Rhodes showing the girl porn, in order to "instruct her on sexual acts he desired".
