A High School teacher was arrested Friday and charged with multiple sex crimes against a minor.
The man charged is Benjamin A. Duran-Tobias, a chemistry teacher at Chambersburg Area High School in Pennsylvania.
According to The Post Millennial, Police charged Duran-Tobias with two counts of involuntary sexual intercourse, institutional sexual assault, one count of corruption of minors, one count of unlawful contact with a minor, and one count of indecent assault.
WHTM News reports that Duran-Tobias is being held at the Franklin County Jail.
The Post Millennial noted the alarming increase in sexual crimes against minors, even as “progressive activists continue to fight against anti-grooming legislation meant to protect children from grooming behavior that can turn into sexual abuse.”
