The charges stemmed from February 2023 investigation conducted by Sheriff’s Detectives in which McGlinn.

McGlinn got accused of having a sexual relationship with a teenage boy. During this investigation, McGlinn allegedly contacted the victim and asked that he lie about their relationship.

In the early stages of that investigation, detectives learned that McGlinn worked as a substitute teacher.

Detectives eventually determined that none of the alleged conduct occurred on SAD 6 property, nor did McGlinn’s role as a substitute teacher serve to facilitate the crime.
