BELFAST (AP) — A teacher at the Waldo County Technical Center who also coaches softball at an area high school has been charged with sexually assaulting a student.
Police allege that 46-year-old Michael Gagnon, of Winslow, an automotive technology instructor at the career training school, assaulted the 17-year-old Belfast High School student when he took her on “test drives” of vehicles other students were working on.
Police told the Morning Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1hz1c2r) that Gagnon also allegedly assaulted the girl at his home in Winslow and a motel in Bangor.
The technical center has suspended Gagnon, as has Mount View High School in Thorndike, where he coached softball.
Gagnon is being held on jail on $10,000 cash bail on a charge of gross sexual assault. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer.
