(11/08/07 - Initial BBT Report)

Eric Scott Newman, 26, a former technical drawing teacher at Millbrook High School in Winchester, Virginia has been charged with one count of sexual abuse by a parent, guardian, or person in position of trust to a child.

It is alleged that Newman had a sexual encounter with a 17-year-old student at his home in Hedgesville, West Virginia. Newman also allegedly had sexually explicit conversations with a 16-year-old student who emailed him nude photographs of herself.

Newman came to the attention of authorities when an individual contacted them and said that his ex-girlfriend was having inappropriate contact with her school teacher. A sheriff’s department investigator spoke with the 16-year-old girl who said that she had been in contact to Newman via telephone, text messages and computer emails and that she sent several naked pictures of herself to Newman’s email address.

The 17-year-old told investigators that on February 3 she met Newman on a parking lot in Hedgesville and from there traveled with Newman to his home where they watched movies, they began kissing and Newman had contact of a sexual nature with her until his wife called and said that she would be late from work.

The investigation of Newman and his arrest was the result of a combined effort on the part of the Berkeley County (West Virginia) and Frederick County (Virginia) Sheriff’s Departments and Virginia Child Protective Services.

Following his arraignment, Newman was released on Bond. He faces from one to five years in prison if convicted.

10/23/08 - Newman Indicted By West Virginia Grand Jury

A Berkeley County Circuit Court grand jury in Martinsburg, West Virginia has indicted Eric Newman on one count each of sexual abuse by a custodian or other person in a position of trust and soliciting a minor via a computer.

Newman is accused of having improper contact with two Millbrook students, who were 16 and 17 at the time, from January to March 2007.

10/30/08 - Guilty Plea in Frederick County

On October 23, Eric Scott Newman pleaded guilty in Frederick County Circuit Court to an amended misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors dropped two solicitation charges and amended the obscenity charge to the contributing to the delinquency of a minor charge.

As a result of his guilty plea, Newman was sentenced to a year in jail, with all but 90 days suspended and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine.

As a result of his guilty plea in Frederick County, Newman will apparently not be required to register as a sex offender.

Newman is still facing criminal charges in Berkeley County where he was indicted on felony charges of sexual abuse by a custodian or other person of trust and soliciting a minor on the computer.

Arraignment on these charges is pending.

Webmaster’s note: We apologize for not updating this info sooner. Fact is that a reader e-mailed us with this information on Sunday but with a quick glance at the e-mail I mistakenly assumed the news report referenced in the e-mail references the grand jury indictment. My mistake. In a later review of the e-mail it became apparent that we had missed a guilty plea to the amended charge. As always thanks to our readers for keeping us informed.

Ashley Esposito, 24, a former student-teacher at Turner Ashby High School in Bridgewater, Virginia has been arrested on felony charges of sodomy, and taking indecent liberties with a child by a person in a custodial or supervisory relationship.

Reportedly Esposito worked at the school from October to December of last year through a program as a student at James Madison University.

The alleged illicit activity is said to have occurred shortly after she left her job as a student-teacher. Reportedly Virginia case law states that a previous relationship can be considered if it occurs soon after the supervisory relationship ended.

Following her arrest Esposito was released on $3,000 secured bond.

If convicted she faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.

Esposito has a court date set for May 8.
