According to Teagle's charging documents, one of the victims said it all started when Teagle began making inappropriate comments, which escalated to him spanking her and her best friend, who are both 15 years old, in a private room on campus.

The two 15-year-old girls said in September, before Teagle resigned, he would hug them, grab their waists and butts, telling them not to tell anyone.
Following the initial allegations, three other young girls also came forward.
Under the plea deal, Teagle cannot have contact with kids under 17 and must also forfeit his teaching license.
