More details have emerged regarding the investigation of Lake Highlands High School teacher Ethan Brown.
Brown, a coach and Freshman Center teacher at the high school, was arrested Wednesday on charges of indecency with a child/exposure and improper relationship with a Lake Highlands High School student.
Dallas Morning News reports that Brown posted bail Wednesday and has been released from jail.
His wife teaches AVID and coaches cross country at Richardson High School. They also have two young children.
One Lake Highlands resident shares that “last summer Brown ran an exercise class, kinda like Cross Fit, for neighborhood moms that he called ‘Booty Camp.'”
Editor’s note, Aug. 7: A reader has called into question the ages of the children originally reported in this post, so we deleted the ages, which were reported as 3 and 3 months. The reader also said that Booty Camp was a nickname given to the exercise camp by the students, not the coach, and that the camp did not take place last summer but rather summers past.
Richardson ISD spokeswoman Candace Ahlfinger released this statement regarding the allegations:
“Lake Highlands Freshman Center teacher Ethan Brown resigned May 29 after the district began investigating a possible inappropriate relationship between Brown and a Lake Highlands High School student. Because RISD is committed to the safety and well-being of students we take all reports of potential impropriety seriously. Dallas Police were contacted and RISD is cooperating with their investigation. Mr. Brown had been a teacher at Lake Highlands Freshman Center and a coach at Lake Highlands High School since 2010.”
