Teacher Accused Of Having Sexual Contact With Student

Christy L. Smith



Christy L. Smith, 32, of the 700 block of College Avenue, has been charged with multiple felony offenses for sexual contact she is accused of having with a student, Lancaster police said. The student was 15 at the time of the contact.

Police said between November 2008 and January 2009, Smith, a McCaskey High School English teacher, had multiple sexual encounters with the male student at her home in Lancaster.

Police arrested Smith Thursday night following a 9-month investigation. Officers said they were tipped off by one of the student's relatives in January. They said they made the arrest after interviewing the student.

"Being 15-years-old, you're really not old enough to make this kind of adult decision. And it has to be extremely difficult for someone that age to have to be in a process like this," said Lancaster Police Chief Keith Sadler.

Smith has been charged with three counts of statutory sexual assault, six counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, three counts of unlawful contact with minor and three counts of corruption of minors following a nine-month investigation, police said. She is in Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $250,000 bail.

McCaskey High School has suspended Smith from all of her duties.

Police said there is the possibility that there may be more victims. Anyone with information regarding the background or activities of Smith is asked to call Det. Harnish with Lancaster City police at 717-735-3350. Callers do not have to give their names to provide information.
