   Corey Lewis is facing charges of statutory rape, statutory sodomy and sexual   
   contact with a student(St. Louis County Jail)   
      
   MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - A St. Louis County substitute teacher   
   is facing charges related to crimes against a student.   
      
   The Maryland Heights Police Department arrested Corey Lewis, 45, of   
   Florissant, Tuesday afternoon. He is charged with one count of second-degree   
   statutory rape, one count of second-degree statutory sodomy and five counts of   
   sexual contact with a student.   
      
   According to police, Lewis was a permanent substitute teacher and coach at   
   Pattonville High School when the crimes occurred between August 2012 and   
   December 2013. The victim was 16 years old at the time, police said.   
      
   Pattonville Superintendent Dr. Barry Nelson sent the below email to families   
   Tuesday afternoon:   
      
   “As a district, we believe it is important to communicate openly with our   
   families, and that is why I am writing today to provide you with information   
   about a sensitive situation.   
      
   This afternoon, Maryland Heights police arrested a staff member at Pattonville   
   High School, and district administrators were notified that Corey Lewis, a   
   permanent substitute and coach, has been charged with sexual misconduct with a   
   former student who    
   has since graduated.   
      
   We are deeply troubled by any report alleging that an employee may have   
   engaged in inappropriate behavior. Our schools are places where students   
   should always feel safe, and we take any allegation of staff misconduct very   
   seriously.   
      
   When a concern by a former student was brought to the district regarding   
   potential inappropriate conduct by this employee, district administrators   
   immediately contacted our police partners. We have been in full cooperation   
   with Maryland Heights police    
   and will continue to provide any information or assistance they request.   
      
   As we do with all employees, this individual underwent an extensive background   
   check before being hired. Additionally, every Pattonville School District   
   employee completes annual training called “MUSIC Sexual Misconduct: Staff to   
   Student” and    
   receives Pattonville’s Reporting and Investigating Child Abuse/Neglect   
   policy, which teaches employees how to identify inappropriate staff/student   
   conduct, and informs staff of their obligation as mandatory reporters.   
      
   If you have any additional concerns related to this case or any other concerns   
   of misconduct, please contact a district administrator and/or the Maryland   
   Heights Police Department. If your student needs any support, please don’t   
   hesitate to contact    
   their counselor.   
      
   I cannot state strongly enough that protecting the welfare of all students and   
   providing a safe, secure learning environment is our first priority. If   
   additional relevant information becomes available, the district and   
   authorities will disclose those    
   details as appropriate or as permitted by law.”   
      
   Police are asking anyone who may have been a victim or witness to contact   
   Detective Ben Berges at (314) 738-2310 or bberges@marylandheights.com.
