A former teacher at Concord High School has been charged with 13 felonies and five misdemeanors, including possession of child porn.

The school administration “started the termination process” on Andrew Cowells back in May, and fired him on Monday. On May 5, the school learned Cowells had made inappropriate sexual comments to students. The court papers list seven victims.

Multiple teenagers told investigators that Cowells did things like have students grind on each other in class, went into the boys bathroom to watch students pee, and tried to get students to inappropriately touch themselves and other students.
