Dance Instructor Sexually Assaulted 15-Year-Old Student: Delco DA

ASTON, PA — A teacher at a Delaware County dance studio is accused of sexually abusing a male student who was 15 years old and is facing charges, according to authorities.

Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said Tuesday that Carly Green, 24, of Aston, has been charged with statutory sexual assault and institutional sexual assault of a child, both felonies, in connection with a sexual relationship between the defendant and a male child, beginning when the child was 15.

On Nov. 9, 2019, West Whiteland Police Department got a report by a parent of a crime against her son involving inappropriate sexual contact.

The victim’s parent explained to Officer O’Brien that she had observed changes in her son’s demeanor.

When the parent confronted her son, he admitted to having had sexual intercourse with the defendant, Green, a long-time friend and teacher, the DA's office said.

The victim was a student at an Aston dance studio, where Green was an instructor, since he was 10 years old.

According to the DA's office, an investigation showed the victim’s phone contained inappropriate messages between the victim and Green, as well as nude photos.

West Whiteland Police Detective Michael Buchmann was then assigned to the case.

Buchmann interviewed the victim, who told Buchmann the sexual relationship started in 2018 when he was 15 years old. Encounters occurred in Green's residence in Aston, authorities said.

Although some activity in question occurred in Chester County, the Office of the Chester County District Attorney has relinquished jurisdiction of the prosecution of this alleged offense to the Delaware County District Attorney.

Green turned herself in on Friday with attorney.

She was released on $50,000 unsecured bail. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 25.
