A Houston-area former assistant principal has been charged after he
allegedly had sex with a female student in his office during prom last year according to Fox News.com.
Thirty-year-old Mark West was charged Monday with having an improper
relationship with a student. He posted a bond of $30,000.
West was placed on administrative leave during the investigation and
resigned his position at Spring High School north of Houston last week.
MyFoxHouston.com reports that court records state West allegedly had sex
with the student at the prom last year.
Investigators tell the station the student, who's now in college, told them
she told West she wanted to have sex with him.
Court records say also say concerns had been expressed by school staff about
the number of closed-door meetings West held with female students during the
school year.
West's secretary reportedly said students would often come out of West's
office looking disheveled, and there was a rumor West and a female student had
recorded a sex tape.
The Associated Press contributed to this
report.
