Charlotte NC Sept 16 2009
A magnet school math teacher has been charged with raping a Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools student at a language academy in south Charlotte.
John Patrick Bush, 27, was charged with first-degree rape of a victim under 13, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. He was arrested about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday and released on $75,000 bond.
Police said the alleged rape took place on Sept. 1 at Smith Academy of Languages, a school on Tyvola Road near South Boulevard that offers language immersion classes for children from kindergarten to eighth grade.
The incident came to light after the student told her parents about the alleged crime, police said. Police haven’t released more details about how the crime occurred
Bush had been working at Smith as a math teacher since January 2007.
He is suspended with pay pending the results of an investigation, said Cynthia Robbins, a district spokeswoman. Robbins said she didn’t know when district officials first learned of the alleged rape.
She said Bush, who did not have a prior criminal record, passed a background check that the district conducts on all teachers
