Former Central Bucks Teacher Charged With Corruption Of A Minor

WARRINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — Charges have been filed against a former Central Bucks School District teacher for corruption of a minor.

Michael London, 31, of Warrington, is accused of engaging in inappropriate conversations with a minor whom law enforcement believes he was grooming in hopes of initiating a sexual relationship.

Those conversations, according to the charging documents, included dicussions about the minor's sexual and romantic relationships and encounters, sexual conversations, and masturbation habits.

London worked as a teacher at Central Bucks West and Central Bucks South high schools between 2014 and 2022. It was not known if the minor was a student of London's from either school.

London was arrested in June and bail was set at $100,000 unsecured. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 24 before District Justice Stacy Wertman.

According to the school district, the Bucks County District Attorney's office began an investigation last fall into London, who was later fired by the school board in December, according to reports.

When information about the incident was brought to light last fall, Superintendent Dr. Abe Lucabaugh said the central office and building administration met with London and placed him on suspension with pay pending the results of the investigation.

The investigation did not find any evidence of criminality; however, in an abundance of caution, Lucabaugh said London "was kept on suspension while I authorized an internal investigation to ensure that nothing was overlooked, or inadvertently missed."

The result of that internal investigation yielded additional information that, upon resubmission to the district attorney’s office, led to the charges against London, said Lucabaugh.

"Fortunately, these actions served to identify and remove an individual who is unfit to be working with our students," said the superintendent.
