Police have charged a Landstown High School math teacher with abduction and sexual abuse after a student reported being hit several times with a belt after school.
Police in a news release said the female student stayed after school Wednesday for a tutoring session and had failed to complete an assignment. She accused the teacher of hitting her across the buttocks as punishment.
The girl reported that to a school nurse, and the nurse called police and Child Protective Services.
Police charged Michael David Shanklin Jr., 37, of the 2500 block of Hunters Run Trail. He was jailed without bond.
Shanklin has been placed on leave without pay pending the outcome of the court case, said Kathleen O'Hara, a schools spokeswoman. Shanklin has taught at Landstown High since August 2006.
A bond hearing is scheduled for today.
