On Thursday, a teacher at Silver City High School was placed under arrest on charges of engaging in a sexual connection with a student. Felix Thompson confirmed to police, according to court records, that he had an inappropriate interaction with a student, but he insisted it wasn’t sexual and that he ended it.
Contrary to the victim’s account, they engaged in sexual activities but did not have sex. According to the police, their texts with each other verified the victim’s account.
Six counts of criminal sexual penetration, twelve counts of criminal sexual contact, and evidence tampering are among the 19 felony accusations Thompson is facing. Pretrial services were in charge of his release.
