A 42-year-old elementary school teacher was arrested after an undercover sting revealed the instructor was communicating with a minor for “immoral purposes.”
The teacher was employed at Lake Roosevelt Elementary School in Coulee Dam. He was arrested on campus on Oct. 13 during a school holiday.
He was arrested and booked for communication with a minor for immoral purposes, as part of an ongoing investigation by detectives with the Washington task force on Internet-facilitated Crimes Against Children (ICAC).
“Protecting children has long been a top priority for law enforcement in our community, and we will continue to use our abilities and resources to pursue anyone who would harm kids, wherever and whoever they are,” Kittitas County Sheriff Clay Myers said in a prepared statement.
It’s unknown if any of the teacher’s victims were his students, as of this reporting.
The school released a statement following the arrest.
Anyone with information relevant to this investigation is asked to call KITTCOM at (509) 925-8534 and refer to case S25-14609.
