‘I miss my community': Acquitted of rape, former Cherokee County teacher wants his job back
Matthew Kealhofer, a former teacher at River Ridge High School in Woodstock, was found not guilty of raping his ex-wife and is seeking to return to his previous position. Kealhofer, who was a teacher and coach, was accused of rape by his ex-wife in 2023, leading to his arrest and charges despite his claim that the encounter was consensual. 'I was moving forward with my life, and I assume this was a way for her to get what she wanted,' he said. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] After a year of living under the shadow of these accusations, he was acquitted by a jury a few days ago. 'I miss my community, and my community has been there for me,' Kealhofer said in an emotional interview with Channel 2's Audrey Washington following the verdict. Kealhofer's attorney, AJ Richman, criticized law enforcement's handling of the case, stating, 'The investigator in this case knew about exculpatory evidence, meaning evidence that is helpful to the defense. ... They knew about all this helpful evidence to Matthew and nobody talked about it.' Kealhofer expressed his desire to return to his role at River Ridge High School, saying, 'It is my ultimate goal to come back and to be the thriving member to society that I was prior to all this nonsense.' Washington couldn't reach Kealhofer's ex-wife for comment. The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office defended their investigation, saying, 'We stand by the actions of the lead detective, who conducted a thorough and professional investigation. We remain confident in the integrity of the investigative process. We also fully respect the decision made by the jury.' A spokesperson for the Cherokee County School District acknowledged the incident but did not comment on Kealhofer's potential future employment with the school.

[DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Gordon B. Cordell, 48, of Wilmington, was indicted on four counts of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance, two counts of voyeurism and possessing criminal tools on Aug. 14, according to Clinton County Common Pleas Court records.

Court documents allege that the camera was hidden in a Bluetooth speaker and the recordings were taken between Jan. 1, 2023, to April 23, 2023. While investigating, Wilmington Police Detective Codey Juillerat requested help from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) 'due to the nature of the allegations and the specialized capabilities of their digital forensic unit,' Gibson said. Investigators executed a search warrant at Cordell's house and found evidence of voyeurism and concealed recordings of both adults and minors. Court documents indicate that the minors were 'in a state of nudity' in the recordings. 'Due to the extensive volume of digital evidence and the number of victims identified, the investigation was lengthy and thorough,' Gibson said. Cordell appeared in court on Monday and is being held on a $75,000 cash bond and a $25,000 recognizance bond, WCPO-9 reported. His pre-trial hearing is scheduled for Sept. 12, according to court documents. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter] Solve the daily Crossword
