MD School Nurse Arrested For Sex Abuse Of High School Students

CRISFIELD, MD — A woman who was a nurse at an Eastern Shore high school is accused of sex offenses against four students in Somerset County, Maryland State Police say. Samantha Marsh, 33, of Crisfield, is charged with 10 counts of fourth-degree sex offense, four counts of perverted practice, four counts of contributing to the condition of a child and one count of attempted fourth-degree sex offense.

Marsh was arrested on Tuesday at the Maryland State Police Princess Anne Barrack and is being held without bail at the Somerset County Detention Center, according to a news release. At the time the alleged illegal acts happened, Marsh was working as the school nurse at Crisfield High School & Academy. She had been placed on administrative leave prior to her arrest.

Investigators say the offenses occurred between March 2018 and January 2019. The victims are all believed to be students at Crisfield High School & Academy, although none of the alleged activity took place on school grounds. Marsh reportedly picked up the students in her van at locations outside of school before taking them to other sites where the offenses occurred.
