Overview
- Elias Gordon Farley, 26, is charged with unlawful sexual activity with a minor and offense against a student by an authority figure.
- Detectives say the relationship became physical in mid-September with encounters in his office and a classroom, followed by two visits to his apartment in early November.
- School surveillance from November 7 reportedly shows Farley and the student entering his office and later a classroom for about an hour.
- A search of Farley’s residence recovered bedding, condom wrappers and furniture matching the student’s description, and his roommate said he was away on the dates she reported visiting.
- The case surfaced after the student showed bruises to an art teacher, prompting an immediate suspension, a report to child-welfare authorities, and a statement that Farley is no longer employed as the school cooperates with investigators.
