Teacher 'sexually abused student and snuck into dance dressed as old woman'
A middle school teacher allegedly sexually abused a student and snuck into a school dance he was banned from by disguising himself as an old woman. Vincent Weaver, 29, a former fine arts teacher and dance team coach at George Washington Carver Academy in Michigan, is accused of sexually assaulting a student aged 10 to 12 years old on campus, according to the Highland Park Police Department. Multiple acts of sexual misconduct allegedly took place over four months. Weaver worked at the academy since August 2023 and was fired earlier this month. 'So we had information that he had choreographed a show that was due to take place at a local college,' stated interim Police Chief James McMahon. 'The event occurred, we knew that the individual really wanted to attend it, however, George Washington Carver staff advised him he should not attend it based on the pending allegations, and he was aware of that. So he took it upon himself to dress as an elderly female and gained access to the event.' Weaver has been charged with a count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct and misdemeanor indecent exposure.
