Arlington Teacher Accused Of Having Sexual Relationship With Student

ARLINGTON, VA — An Arlington Public Schools substitute teacher is facing charges after police said he was involved in an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student.

Timothy McGhee, 47, of Alexandria, was arrested Friday and charged with taking indecent liberties with a child and stalking, Arlington County police said in a news release.

According to authorities, police launched an investigation into McGhee, a substitute teacher assigned to Washington-Liberty High School, after receiving a tip that he had initiated a sexual relationship with a female student.

Police did not release additional information about the incident.

In a statement, investigators said there may be more victims connected to McGhee due to his history of working with kids and youth groups at a local church. He also worked as a substitute teacher in neighboring jurisdictions in Northern Virginia, police said.

Anyone with additional information related to the investigation or who may have had inappropriate encounters with McGhee should contact Detective S. Yanda at 703-228-4244 or syanda@arlingtonva.us.
