Darlington Phy-Ed Teacher Resigns Following Sexual Assault Allegations

Feb 2, 2022 | 1:47 PM

The Darlington Community School Board on Tuesday accepted the resignation of a teacher accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a student. The resignation of 23 year old Jesse Sturtz of Darlington will be effective at the end of the business day on Friday. Sturtz is a physical education teacher at Darlington High School and was put on leave after district officials learned of the investigation. Sturtz has been charged in Lafayette County Circuit Court with four counts of sexual assault of a student by school staff. Reports say that Sturtz had sex four times with a student in his class. School Superintendent Cale Jackson said that the board will have no further comment on the resignation because it is considered a confidential employment matter.
