[Turd Fergusen]

A Maryland elementary school teacher sexually assaulted at least eight girls in their third-grade classroom at Severna Park Elementary School, according to authorities.

According to charging documents, Child Protective Services interviewed at least eight of 44-year-old Matthew Schlegel’s current and former female students, who claim the math teacher molested them.

The girls, who are all still in elementary school, say Schlegel groped their private parts and described being touched under their desks or in front of other students.

Schlegel, who is married with two children, is now being held without bond.

Now will his wife be the morally decent type of person who immediately divorces him and keeps the kids far away, or will she proclaim his innocence and stand by his side, like so many others? God this guy just has "the look" too, total Chester the Molester look'n motherfucker.

People do this all the time here. There is no "the look". I wish more people would get that, doesn't have to be a male either, females can be pedophiles too. Not advocating for this guy in the least, but in the US, one should always be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Not saying I think he is innocent, but I'm not going to condemn his as a pedophile just based on his appearance. In any case, his wife should have some idea of what route to take here, I would hope.

I have to agree, there is just as much the look as there is earthquake weather.

Yeah, there's no compelling evidence there's a "look".

If they all looked like this guy it would be convenient for the rest of society...

The teacher cleared by a jury on 18 criminal counts remains fully employed by his district, but at a location where there are no students, 11 News has learned.

Matthew Schlegel was found not guilty in June on 18 criminal counts that included child sexual abuse in his third-grade classroom at Severna Park Elementary School over two years. The jury could not agree on three misdemeanor counts that were ultimately dismissed at the state's request.

Schlegel, 45, is back on payroll at Anne Arundel County Public Schools. In a statement sent Thursday to 11 News, the district said Schlegel is not assigned to a classroom for the new school year:

Acquitted teacher still employed, assigned to work with no students

Three remaining assault charges against Maryland teacher Matthew Schlegel were dropped Tuesday, almost a week after he was acquitted of sex abuse in a partial verdict.

Schlegel was accused of sexually abusing eight of his students between 2022 and 2024 while he worked as a third-grade math teacher at Severna Park Elementary School in Anne Arundel County.

A jury found him not guilty of 18 counts of sex offenses in a partial verdict, but they remained deadlocked on three charges.

On Tuesday, Anne Arundel County State's Attorney Anne Colt Leitess said her team would not continue prosecuting the remaining charges.


"While some may want us to continue prosecuting the three remaining misdemeanor counts, we must recognize that after a full presentation of the facts in over a month-long trial, the jury was deadlocked on those counts 10-2 for not guilty," Leitess said in a statement.
