Teacher under investigation for inappropriate relationship months after Huntersville police initiall

Описание: A former Southlake Christian Academy teacher is under investigation for an alleged inappropriate relationship with a student, but a search warrant reveals the Huntersville Police Department "did not investigate" a potential crime when someone first reported concerns more than six months ago.

WCNC Charlotte is not going to name the teacher, because he has not been charged with a crime. Court records show he resigned from Southlake Christian Academy in April after the school put him on administrative leave, just days before Huntersville police first became aware of the possible relationship.

A Cornelius Police Department investigator noted a lack of action by Huntersville police multiple times in a September search warrant application seeking access to the former teacher's cellphone records.

"The Huntersville Police Department was made aware of the possibility of an inappropriate relationship on 05/03/2023 but did not investigate the matter ..." Detective John Lineberger wrote. "The caller explained to the Huntersville Police that the school was made aware of the situation and (the teacher) immediately resigned his position as a teacher at SLCA according to the caller. No further investigation was conducted by Huntersville Police Department at that time."
