The 28-year-old is accused of sexual misconduct involving at least three students.

St. Johns County School District spokeswoman Christina Langston said her suspension followed the discovery of messages to students.

At least three students said Younce texted them, investigators said.

Cmdr. Chuck Mulligan, spokesman for the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, said deputies received information and allegations regarding “inappropriate conversations going on between a teacher and a student.”

Younce is head coach of the girls weightlifting team.

Younce was hired at the school this year and was still in her probationary period.

Shannon Fosgett, 44, pleaded not guilty to three felonies charges: one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor under 18 and two counts of oral copulation with a minor, a spokesman for the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office said.

The investigation began when police were informed of an alleged inappropriate relationship involving a Murrieta Valley High instructor and a male student.

Investigators interviewed the boy, who told them that one of his teachers “began showing interest in him over a year ago,” in conversations that began with after-hours texting, according to authorities.

“As the relationship grew, the minor and the teacher engaged in oral sex and ultimately sexual intercourse,” a police statement said.

A Des Moines high school teacher was arrested after police say he exposed himself at Valley West Mall.

Officers were called to the mall on Saturday about 1:16 p.m. on a report of a man who exposed himself to a female employee.

Police identified the suspect as 60-year-old Michael Madson. After being approached by mall security, police say Madson tried to escape.

“When they asked him for ID, he was being escorted to his car at that time and he tried to take off running,” Bryan said.

Police say Madson was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time, and according to the police report, Madson denied the incident happened.

After interviewing the clerk who witnessed the incident, Madson was arrested and charged with public exposure.

Madson is a teacher at Lincoln High School in Des Moines. An online directory says Madson has taught at the school since 2001 but has been teaching for nearly 30 years. He was also serving as chair for the school's involvement in the Des Moines Education Association.

Madson was immediately placed on administrative leave and is not allowed to return to the school.

Madson was charged with indecent exposure in 1994 after he allegedly walked into the lobby of a Waterloo hotel wearing only a T-shirt. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of criminal trespass.

Madson was fired from his job at a Waterloo school, but he appealed and was allowed to keep teaching.

In 2001, Madson was charged with harassment after allegedly peeping on a 14-year-old girl at a tanning salon.

Online court records show Madson entered a guilty plea and had the harassment charged dismissed.

The music teacher at Thomas Hooker Elementary School was arrested after police said she assaulted a special education student.

Lydia Struble, 51, of Stratford, was charged with third-degree assault and released on a promise to appear in court.

Interim Superintendent of Schools Fran Rabinowitz said Strauble has been removed from the school.

“We took immediate action and the incident is under investigation,” she said.

Reached by phone Wednesday, Struble declined to comment.

Police said that on Feb. 4, the parents of a 13-year-old girl who is a special education student at the school complained that their daughter was assaulted by Struble during music class.

The girl said the teacher had been picking on her during class, calling her names and yelling at her, police said. When the girl got up to leave at the end of the class period, police said, Struble grabbed girl’s right wrist very hard and pulled her over to her chair. She then grabbed the girl’s left shoulder and forced her into the chair, police said.

Police said the girl is 4 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 65 pounds.

After music class was over, the girl went to her art teacher and complained about the incident, and the art teacher contacted Assistant Principal Lorraine Woschik. Police said the girl had bruising and scratches on her wrist and a bruise that appeared to be a handprint on her shoulder. She was taken to Bridgeport Hospital.

The art teacher told officers the girl is a good student and does not have behavior issues in school, police said. Police said Woschik later told them other students in the music class had confirmed Struble’s actions with the girl.

In an interview with Police Lt. Paul Grech, Struble said the students had been loud and not listening to her. She said the girl had told her not to yell at her, but denied singling her out of discipline or putting her hands on the girl, police said.

In an online treatise Struble described her teaching philosophy: “From kindergarten through early adolescence children have incredible amounts of energy. As a result, educators need exorbitant amounts of energy and endurance in order to funnel their student’s energy properly, and keep them focused on task. Moreover, we must be openly enthusiastic about being an educator, be ready to reach out to our student population, and be thinking of new ways to help students achieve success.”

A mother of a Horizon High School student said issues with a music teacher should have been flagged by school administrators weeks earlier, when she began alerting them to his conduct in class.

Phoenix police arrested the 36-year-old on suspicion of stalking a 15-year-old student.

At various points, the mother addressed her messages to an assistant principal, the school principal and the Paradise Valley Unified School District's director of fine arts.
