Salt Lake City teacher charged, accused of inappropriately touching second-grade student
Jared Tichy, listed as a first grade teacher at Edison Elementary School, was charged Wednesday by the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office.
Among the allegations, the girl said Tichy, 44, would take off her shoes and socks"and rub her feet aggressively" before putting her legs on his lap. She also claimed he would grab her waist and hips, and play games in which she would earn points called"Dojo points" that were exchanged for gifts that Tichy bought.
The girl said she had kept quiet for so long because she"didn't know it was bad" and she didn't want to annoy anyone or make people think she was"being overdramatic."
