Emily Walker a Physical Education Teacher and Basketball Coach at Frederick County Middle School and Matthew Geyer a Sherando High School aide are in custody.

Walker turned herself in voluntarily after cellphone investigation showed evidence of hundreds of text messages between, she and a then 12-year-old student.

The messages over several weeks indicated an escalation in expectations of physical contact.

Further investigation revealed that the now 13-year-old student did meet with Walker on more than one occasion on school property and kissed.

A second investigation of alleged inappropriate behavior led to the arrest of Sherando High School aide Matthew Geyer.

Geyer allegedly had a consensual sexual encounter with a 16 year old male student after the two met on social media months ago.

The investigation confirmed that the pair met off school property at the victim’s home where sexual contact was made.

Geyer is currently being held without bond at the Adult Detention facility and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Initial charges have been placed against both FCPS associates and no further information will be released pending the upcoming court proceedings.
