High school teacher molested, harassed student for years at school, Louisiana cops say
A former high school teacher was arrested after Louisiana officials say he molested and harassed a student for years.
Deputies said Kyle Aucoin-Melohn was arrested Dec. 27 on a warrant for prohibited sexual conduct between an educator and student and molestation of a juvenile. Aucoin-Melohn was a teacher at Destrehan High School at the time of the assault, but his employment ended earlier in December 2022.
The 32-year-old had “inappropriate sexual contact” with a male student, according to a news release from the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office. The contact occurred at the high school when the student was 16 and 17 years old.
Aucoin-Melohn is also accused of making “inappropriate comments” starting in 2017 until 2020, deputies said.
The sheriff’s office said it received an anonymous tip on Dec. 1 that Aucoin-Melohn was molesting male students. Further investigation revealed his relationship with the student.
Deputies continue to investigate and ask anyone with information to contact Sergeant Holly Laurent at (985) 783-6807, (985) 331-1562, or hlaurent@stcharlessheriff.org.
St. Charles Parish is about 30 miles west of downtown New Orleans.
