State drops charges against Samuel Huffer
The Frederick County State's Attorney's office dropped charges Thursday morning against Walkersville High School drama teacher Samuel Huffer who faced fourth degree sexual offense and assault and battery accusations. A five minute district court appearance saw Huffer read a prepared statement and the case close to end a controversy that began in April. The 16 year old student was not present. Assistant state's attorney Stephen Meyers said charges were dropped to spare both parties from trial embarrassment, noting an oppressive school and media environment. A lengthy dialogue with Huffer's attorney led to a compromise and an apology deemed sufficient by all involved.
