Former Terre Haute Teacher Charged With Child Molesting

Last updated on Friday, June 5, 2015

(TERRE HAUTE) - A former teacher at Woodrow Wilson Middle School in Terre Haute was formally charged on Wednesday with two counts of child molesting and one count of child solicitation.

The court documents detailed three counts against Jeremy Johnson, who was a seventh grade science teacher at Woodrow Wilson Middle School. The incidents happened in December 2014 saying Johnson did "knowingly or intentionally perform or submit to other sexual conduct with a child under the age of 14."

The victim told police the inappropriate sexual relations happened after a Christmas play in a classroom.

Mick Newport, director of human resources with the Vigo County School Corporation, says Johnson was put on administrative leave. He has since resigned from his position at Woodrow Wilson Middle School.
