Mass. teacher charged with endangerment, enticement, child porn possession

Thomas Wilson, a 37-year-old teacher at Shepherd Hill Regional High School, was arrested and charged with multiple child endangerment offenses involving a 14-year-old girl. The charges include reckless sexual endangerment, enticement of a minor, and possession of child pornography, following an investigation into an alleged incident on September 18. Wilson reportedly forced the girl into his car, where investigators later discovered condoms, a vibrator, and personal lubricant. He claimed he was trying to educate her after finding her posts on Reddit about dating older men. The Dudley-Charlton Regional School District placed him on administrative leave after being notified by police.

Wilson pleaded not guilty in Taunton District Court and is currently held on $10,000 cash bail, with a court date set for Monday. Both police departments continue to investigate the case, emphasizing the seriousness of the allegations. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding the safety of minors in educational settings.
