Illinois Teacher Accused of Fondling Himself in Class

(Schaumburg, Illinois) Last Friday, a 75-year-old teacher at Schaumburg Christian School, Paul LaDuke, was accused of lewd behavior inside his classroom with students present. LaDuke was fired by the school.

LaDuke faces one count of felony sexual exploitation of a child.

Prosecutors say during a 10 a.m. algebra class Friday, the defendant placed an apron over his clothing and sat behind his teaching podium.

While the students were doing an assignment, prosecutors say LaDuke unbuckled his pants and slid them down just below his hips and began to masturbate while 13 students were in the room.

In a written statement, LaDuke admitted to masturbating in class multiple times per year over the 10 years he taught at the school.

LaDuke was booked into custody and released Wednesday on $40,000 bond.
