A Prince George’s County public school administrator surrendered to police yesterday and was charged with sexually abusing a student at a Seabrook elementary school where until recently the administrator was a vice principal.
On Monday, a county grand jury indicted Shadrick M. Woods, 40, on two counts of child abuse and two counts of third-degree sexual offense.
The student is a 6-year-old boy at Gaywood Elementary School, State’s Attorney Glenn F. Ivey(D) said in a statement. The abuse allegedly occurred at the school on four occasions between Dec. 1 and March 10, the statement says.
On March 10, Woods was moved to an administrative position in which he has no contact with children, said John White, a spokesman for the school system. White said Woods was transferred after school officials launched an internal investigation into his conduct.
White said he could not disclose the nature of the allegations because of privacy issues and because the investigation is ongoing. Woods was hired by the school district in the fall of 2006, White said.
A law enforcement source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case is ongoing, said Woods is accused of fondling the child in the main first-grade boys’ restroom.
In his office at the school, Woods had television monitors hooked up to school security cameras, the law enforcement source said. Police and prosecutors think some of the alleged molestation occurred after Woods saw the boy in a hallway, then accompanied him to the restroom, the source said.
In a statement, Ivey said: “Sexual abuse is a horrible crime, and even more so when it involves a very young child. . . . The grand jury’s decision to indict this defendant is the first step towards pursuing justice for the victim, the family and friends, and protection for other students who may have been victimized.”
Prosecutors asked anyone with information regarding other possible victims to contact county police.
Attempts were unsuccessful yesterday to identify an attorney for Woods or to locate a home number for him. Woods, who was released on a $50,000 bond, will be arraigned within 30 days, prosecutors said.
In December, Tawfik Adams, a former assistant principal at Bladensburg High School, was charged with second-degree child abuse and other crimes. He is accused of groping and sexually harassing two female students.
Adams, 31, is scheduled for trial May 19.
Nathaniel B. Thomas. a former member of the county school board, is scheduled for trial Wednesday on one count of third-degree sex offense. Thomas, 26, is accused of having sex several years ago with a 15-year-old student at Forestville Military Academy, where Thomas was a teacher.
Thomas resigned from the school board last year after the allegations surfaced.
