Gym teacher who ran off with student surrenders
NEW YORK AP A heartthrob gym teacher who took a ninth grade girl on a cross country odyssey of cheap motels casinos and amusement parks surrendered Tuesday and claimed he was only protecting her from abusive parents. Glenn Harris 33 was arrested on kidnapping charges upon his return from Las Vegas after investigators suspect a Lolita style romance with 15 year old Christina Rosado. Harris and his lawyers refused to say whether he had a sexual relationship with the girl and he accused the media of twisting his relationship with her. Christina is in good health and is expected to return to New York on Wednesday. Her immediate whereabouts were not disclosed. Authorities and an attorney for the girl's mother ridiculed claims that Harris rescued the teenager from a sexually abusive father and a physically abusive mother.
