Douglas E. Hunt, an art teacher at Shepherdstown Elementary School in Shepherdstown, West Virginia and boys varsity soccer coach at Jefferson High School in Shenandoah Junction, West Virginia, has been charged in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia with enticement of a minor and travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.
Hunt’s arrest was the result of an Internet sting targeting individuals seeking sex with children.
Hunt allegedly answered an ad on craigslist.org that said “my2 gurls and me – 99″ (ctown/leesburg/hf).” A meeting was set up in nearby Loudon County, Virginia with underage girls for sex.
Hunt was arrested after arriving in the parking lot of a designated hotel for the meeting and paying an undercover officer $220.
It is further alleged that Hunt intended to have have oral sex and vaginal intercourse with two individuals he believed to be 12- and 13 year-old girls.
According to school officials, Hunt was arrested December 4th in Virginia and the charges against Hunt did not involve a student from Jefferson County Schools and that Hunt has not been at the school since early December and is not expected to return to the school.
Hunt has been with Jefferson County Schools for 11 years.
Reportedly Hunt was being held in a federal facility in Virginia and reportedly has been denied bond.

Guru,
An eye for an eye he tried to take the body of a young girl incapable of giving concent then if Mr. Hunt is raped in prison then it would be justified, not to mention the pain he has caused everyone who knows him.

A person like this has a problem that requires help. This is something that has been in him all along and not some habit that he just stumbled across. After being a student of his for many years I am truly saddened at this entire situation. As far as we know he has not been involved with any of the children that he has taught, so thank God for his restraint. My prayers are definitely with his family. Through it all I will always remember him for his kindness and personable demeanor as a teacher.

Guru-
It’s called Karma. He did this to himself and what he did was sinful. And you and the public don’t know half of it. Credit card fraud, paying for hookers, the beast is sick and has a very dark side.
Do unto others…10 years is not enough time for him to rot. He is scum that will learn all about life in prison. Inmates don’t like pedophiles.
Go ahead & pray for him. I’ll pray for his family and rejoice he is off the streets and out of the schools, away from children.
Amen

Disturbed, wishing harm upon another person is wrong and sinful. We should be praying that he will truly find God and not get raped.
