Police wrote in a warrant that the crimes started during the summer break in 2016, between late May and early September. The 49-year-old teacher met with a female student several times over that summer “under the pretense of meeting for a non-existent school club,” according to the warrant.
Later on, he and the girl had sex, according to indictment paperwork.
The alleged crimes stretch to as recently as December 2017.
Herron has been in jail since his arrest June 1, jail records show. His bond is set at $50,000.
