EDGERTON, MD – On Wednesday, Karl Houston Walls, a 27-year-old Edgerton resident and teacher at Northeast High School, was charged by the Anne Arundel County Police Department’s Child Abuse Unit. The charges follow a series of allegations dating back to May of this year, where Walls was accused of sexually explicit interactions with two students.
According to the report, Walls allegedly sent explicit text messages and images to the victims, some incidents occurring on school grounds. He also reportedly solicited explicit content from the students, and had sexual contact with them. In one instance, Walls is said to have brandished a knife against one of the victims.
Upon learning of these allegations, Anne Arundel County Public Schools reassigned Walls to a non-student-contact role pending the outcome of the investigation. Walls is now held in Central Holding and Processing.
The Child Abuse Unit encourages anyone with further information to call the TipLine at 410-222-4700 or the Unit directly at 410-222-0306.
