Charges are stacking up against a Gig Harbor elementary teacher accused of sexually assaulting four of his students.
Police arrested 34-year-old Jordan Henderson on April 18, 2024 after multiple children came forward saying they were molested by him. He is charged with nine counts of child molestation.Henderson was released the same day on electronic home monitoring after posting a $100,000 bail. The conditions were that he was not allowed to go near any children but his own, but three weeks later, neighbors say they caught him violating those terms.
"Kevin Hasting, an attorney representing victims and their families, says Henderson used his position of power and trust to target, groom and ultimately sexually assault his students in his classroom."Unfortunately, predators who prey on children often don't just stop with one," Hasting said. "It's part of the grooming process that we we see time and time again."Hasting says a fourth student of Henderson's has also recently accused him of sexual assault.
