More Teacher Sexual Misconduct

This time, it's at King's West High School in Bremerton. From the Tacoma News-Tribune:


A former King’s West School teacher, fired for sending what the school called “inappropriate e-mails” to a 13-year-old student, also faces a criminal charge.

Joseph B. Carver, 25, who taught math, U.S. history and physical education at the Lutheran school in Bremerton, was charged Wednesday in Kitsap County District Court with one count of communication with a minor for immoral purposes.

Conviction on the gross misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $5,000 fine.

A Kitsap County sheriff’s investigation found instant messages that Carver is accused of sending on MySpace.com to the student, including suggestions that he wanted to kiss and touch parts of her body.

Carver was in his second year of teaching at the school. He previously taught English for one year at Kingston Junior High School.

King’s West administrators fired him in March.
