Teacher Arrested for Criminal Sex in Classroom

(East Greenbush, New York) This report is disgusting. A 37-year-old social studies teacher at Columbia High School, Kirk James Hellwig, was arrested yesterday for allegedly having oral sex in his classroom with a 16-year-old male student during the school day. Police were alerted after a rumor started circulating at the school.

"One of our officers who is stationed at the school was approached by two principals about the rumor," said town Police Chief Christopher Lavin. "We then searched some premises, collected evidence, interviewed numerous individuals and reviewed computer activity."

Hellwig, who is single and has taught social studies at the school since 1999, was arrested Monday morning on three counts each of felony third-degree criminal sex act and misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child.

He was arraigned in town court Monday and released on $25,000 bail.

Hellwig was suspended from his teaching position and barred from school property. A court appearance is tentatively scheduled for Thursday.

Simply outrageous! Oral sex in the classroom! How did this guy ever get hired?
