Honk News (Spartanburg County, SC) – A charter school principal in Abbeville County has been taken into custody and faces allegations of engaging in sexual activities with minors.
Spartanburg County Detention Center records indicate that deputies took Kalan Rogers, 31, from Calhoun Falls, into custody on Friday. On October 21, allegations of sexual battery involving a student aged 16 or 17 were made against the principal and the track and field coach at Calhoun Falls Charter School in Spartanburg.
From 2016 to 2017, Rogers, then serving as a school administrator in Spartanburg, engaged in a sexual act with a minor, as stated in an indictment from the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office.
The SCAG’s office has chosen not to disclose further information regarding the case, such as the name of the school involved.
The Calhoun Fall School Board did not grant Rogers status regarding the charter school.
“While we are unable to comment on an active investigation, we are aware of this situation,” Calhoun Falls Board of Trustee Tracy Lindler said. The board has acted in accordance with our policies to ensure our school’s operational needs are met during this time to ensure no interruption for our students and families.”
Rogers was freed from custody on Friday after posting a $10,000 bond.
