Former Arlington teacher’s union president charged with embezzlement

The former president of the Arlington Education Association has been arrested and charged with multiple felonies after police say she stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the organization.

Two teachers in the same Virginia school district have been arrested for "inappropriate contact" with students following an investigation.

Emily Walker, a P.E. teacher at Frederick County Middle School, and Sherando High School teacher’s aide Matthew Geyer have both been arrested after a Frederick County Sheriff's Office investigation launched in March concluded that both had "inappropriate contact" with students, Fox 5 DC reported.

Walker, 23, is said to have had relations with a 12-year-old student on multiple occasions, and it was determined that hundreds of texts had been exchanged between the two. The conversations eventually escalated to an expectation of physical contact.

The student, a male who is now 13 years old, is alleged to have kissed Walker on school property on several occasions.

Geyer, 41, is alleged to have engaged in a sexual encounter with a 16-year-old male student after the two connected on a social media app.

Geyer and the student are alleged to have met at the student’s home before engaging in consensual sexual contact.
