Overview
- Heather L. Pancer, 48, surrendered on a warrant earlier this month and was charged with two felony counts of criminal sexual assault, remaining in custody ahead of a Nov. 5 court date.
- Judge Rivanda Doss Beal ordered Pancer detained on allegations she abused students while in a supervisory position.
- Prosecutors alleged the conduct occurred between 2018 and 2021 and involved girls who were then 15–17 and 16–17.
- Investigators learned of the case after one victim disclosed the abuse to her boyfriend, triggering CPS and CPD investigations that identified a second victim from a photo Pancer allegedly shared.
- CPS said it is committed to safe, ethical learning environments and declined to comment on personnel matters during active investigations.
