Montco teacher arrested over relationship

A Montgomery County high school teacher has been arrested because of an alleged inappropriate relationship with one of his students, the district attorney announced Thursday.

Sean Michael McCullough, 43, an English teacher at Methacton High School in Worcester, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, corruption of minors, possession of child pornography, and related crimes.

According to court documents, McCullough had the student in class for four years. He allegedly admitted to police that he fondled the student and engaged in "sex chats" using Facebook, e-mails and text messages. The situation was discovered when an adult relative of the victim saw the messages.

McCullough, of Collegeville, was set to be arraigned Thursday. Bail information was not available. - Mari A. Schaefer
