UPDATE: Picture of the Happy Couple Found! (At right, a photo of Brenton Wuchae and Windy Hager, presumably at their wedding reception at Red Lobster.)
This is a strange twist on the typical teacher sex scandal: this guy marries his 16-year-old victim, then turns around and resigns. I'm no attorney, but I'm not sure if this will keep him from being charged for his alleged inappropriate relationship with the girl, but at least he's taking a shot. Or is marrying a 16-year-old punishment enough? Here's more from the Star News Online:
A South Brunswick High School cross country coach and science teacher has resigned amid allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a student.
Brenton Wuchae, 40, of Oak Island, submitted his resignation June 13, and the Brunswick County Board of Education approved the personnel action during a closed session meeting today.
According to a statement from Superintendent Katie McGee, Wuchae and a Brunswick County student were married Monday. The marriage license says Wuchae married Windy Hager, 16, of Oak Island.
Hager’s parents had previously complained at a public meeting of the school board that officials had not done enough to alert them to a relationship between the teacher and their daughter. They said they found out about the situation through rumors.
