An assistant principal in Maryland was charged Wednesday with multiple sex offenses involving an 18-year-old student.
Leonardtown High School Assistant Principal Kelly Eugene McClure-Hewitt was charged with third-degree sex offense and fourth-degree sexual contact offense, plus second-degree assault.
The 55-year-old Lexington Park resident is accused of making "unwanted sexual contact" with an 18-year-old boy. The victim alleged that McClure-Hewitt also gave him gifts and discussed homosexuality with him.
"The 18-year-old male victim alleged a series of encounters with McClure-Hewitt in March at Leonardtown High School," St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office said in a press release.
"The victim stated that during multiple visits to his office, McClure-Hewitt provided unsolicited gifts, discussed sexual preference and made unwanted sexual contact," the statement added.
The victim and McClure-Hewitt had no relationship before the unsolicited interactions began, officials said.
St. Mary’s County Public Schools told FOX 5 DC the assistant principal has been placed on administrative leave.
