United States: A man in Ohio was detained for allegedly groping his 16-year-old stepdaughter at the time of a virtual school class, to the horror of her teacher as well as classmates, as per the police officials.
The stepfather of the teenager, David Lowe, a registered sex offender, allegedly crept up behind the girl while wearing just his underwear while she was attending an online class at her Berea home for the Ohio Virtual Academy on September 28, as per the police.
Along with this, Lowe then “rubbed his crotch against the back of her head” in view of the girl’s teacher as well as her 39 classmates, according to Lt. Tom Walker with the Berea Police Department.
According to the sources, the teenager’s teacher quickly recorded the “obscene behaviour” to the police officials.
According to the sources, the 52-year-old Lowe was facing charges of sexual imposition the other day.
Moreover, he has pleaded not guilty to the charges as well as posted a $50,000 bond.
The Ohio Virtual Academy mentioned in the statement that it is aware of the incident as well as has counselling resources available to its students.
The head of the school, Kristin Stewart, stated, “As a rule, OHVA always offers students access to licensed school counsellors and the availability of outside clinical staff through our partnership with Syntero for any further mental health support needed by students.”
The local police reminded parents to remain vigilant of what their children see online.
Furthermore, Lt. Walker highlighted, “See something, say something. As law enforcement officials, it’s our job to protect the children in our community, and we want to be aware of any obscene behaviours that occur like this.”
