Robert Kevin Cyphers Guilty
Posted by: Webmaster in Coaches, ME-FV, Teachers - Misc, TexasRobert Kevin Cyphers, 45, a former teacher, coach and sports referee in the Houston and Tyler, Texas school systems has been convicted of three counts of aggravated sexual assault of an 8-year-old girl.
Cyphers was charged with molesting the 8-year-old girl three different ways on October 2, 2006 while the victim’s mother was at work. Cyphers came to the attention of authorities when officials at Whitehouse Elementary School discovered a note the victim had written which said she had been sexually abused.
From the Tyler Morning Telegraph:
The girl said she didn’t know how old she was when the sexual abuse started but it was before and during the third grade, and he would do it after school while her mother was at work. She said the last time he did it was the day before she talked to her school counselor on Oct. 2.
At the time of the offenses for which Cyphers was convicted he was not actively working as a teacher or coach and was according to media reports a stay-at-home dad and working on getting his Master’s Degree.
During the trial it was revealed that the victim’s older sister said during an interview with Child Protective Services that Cyphers had rubbed her back, legs and inner thighs before but had never touched her private parts.
A registered nurse testified that she examined the victim and said she had sustained trauma consistent with sexual abuse.
