A former Chester County charter school teacher was convicted of sexually assaulting a former student in a hotel room, but acquitted of grooming another former student into having a sexual relationship with him.
The verdict against Seth Reich, 42, was delivered by a jury in West Chester on Tuesday afternoon after seven hours of deliberation over two days.
Those texts gradually became more personal, she said, and the two began to share flirtatious banter. Shortly before the student graduated, she said, Reich initiated a sexual encounter in his classroom.Investigators and the now-22-year-old woman insisted that she had sex with the teacher while she was a student, before her 18th birthday.
The teens and Reich exchanged texts frequently, they said, and joked about meeting up at a hotel room after the play ended. The messages included references to buying condoms and filming a pornographic movie, but the two women testified that they had been sent in jest.
