Teacher and student confrontation.
A Berkeley County school teacher, Dale Joseph Fox, has been charged with sexual battery of a student aged 16-17 in North Charleston. The 25-year-old teacher was arrested by North Charleston police on May 24 and granted a $40,000 bond the same day.
According to an incident report, the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office contacted a police investigator on March 21 regarding a teacher who may have had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student. The Berkeley County School District’s chief communications and engagement officer, Katie Tanner, stated that upon receiving information about the potential relationship, school officials took immediate action to gather more details and reported the matter to law enforcement. The teacher’s employment was terminated on March 20, the same day the incident was reported.
Fox and the student allegedly engaged in a consensual sexual relationship between December 2021 and February 2022. Fox, who held a teaching certificate in theater since July 1, 2021, has been under scrutiny following these allegations. The school district reported the incident to the state’s education department.
The public information officer for the Berkeley County School District was unavailable for immediate comments on May 24.
