ANACORTES, Wash. (AP) — An Anacortes elementary school teacher has been charged with three counts of first-degree child molestation.
The Skagit Valley Herald reports Island View Elementary School physical education teacher Robert Craig Johnson was arrested Friday.
According to court documents, the girl reported the first time Johnson touched her was at the beginning of the current school year.
The girl’s mother reported the incidents to police when she learned about them June 16.
Anacortes School District Superintendent Mark Wenzel says Johnson was placed on paid administrative leave the next day.
