Teacher Charged With Sex Abuse

DENTON, Md. (AP) ―

The Caroline County Sheriff's Office is reporting the arrest of an eighth-grade teacher on child sex abuse charges.

Investigators say 25-year-old Lee Holmes of Greensboro is a teacher at Lockerman Middle School in Denton and allegedly had a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old female student.

Police say Holmes became a suspect Tuesday night after the girl was dropped off at her home in Marydel after leaving without permission.

Her mother chased the driver at high speed, until the driver's car crashed in Queen Anne's County.

The mother recognized Holmes as the driver of the wrecked car.

Holmes was treated for his injuries at Shock Trauma in Baltimore and was arrested Wednesday at his mother's residence in Prince George's County.
