Wisconsin Teacher Resigns on Student Sex Allegation

(Chippewa County, Wisconsin) In December 2008, a Lake Holcombe School District music teacher, Megan Gaede, was questioned about allegations from a student who said he had sex with her at least 10 times. Gaede did not deny the allegations, however, she immediately resigned.

No criminal charges were filed since the student was 18 years old at the time of the sexual relations. Nonetheless, the state Department of Public Instruction is reviewing the case.

Belated reporting on the situation resulted because the school district kept the records confidential until an open records request was filed by the local media.
