Ex-Lake Forest HS Teacher Guilty of Kissing Student Given Supervision

A Lake Forest High School math teacher found guilty after being accused of kissing and inappropriately touching a 17-year-old female student was sentenced to 18 months of conditional supervision Wednesday and could see his conviction erased if he completes that successfully, the Daily North Shore reports.

Albert Macius, 65, was found guilty Feb. 8 on two counts of misdemeanor battery in connection with claims that he kissed and touched the leg of the student in May of 2015 while tutoring her at her Lake Bluff home. Macius was arrested and charged in the incident in August of 2015.

Lake County Judge Mark Levitt chastised Macius, who resigned from his high school post last month, as he delivered his punishment Wednesday, May 25, the Herald reports:

“It’s a mystery to me you cannot understand your actions were wrong. You still say you were trying to help but there is no doubt in my mind your actions had sexual overtones.”
