Ohio school district 'sickened' after former coach, teacher indicted for r**e of minor 04/15/2024

According to the school district, "Gallia County families entrust us with the responsibility of educating and protecting their children, and the safety and well-being of ours students is our highest priority."

If this is true, why did you do nothing when the abuses of Matthew and Paige Huck were reported to your administration multiple times over the past 20 years? Today's hollow words do little to comfort the community whose trust you have violated time and time again.

We encourage anyone with information relating to the Hucks and the school district's failure to take action to contact our offices. Any information you have may be crucial to holding the school district accountable for failing these children.

FORMER RIVER VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER AND WRESTLING COACH CHARGED WITH R**E FROM 2004 INCIDENT WITH STUDENT

Matthew Huck Also Charged with Three Counts of
Being an Accomplice to Unlawful S*xual Conduct with Minors

GALLIA COUNTY, OHIO – After an exhaustive investigation by criminal investigators and two special prosecutors, the Gallia County Grand Jury this week indicted former Gallipolis resident Matthew Huck, formerly a teacher and wrestling coach at River
Valley High School in Gallia County, on three third degree felony charges of Complicity to Commit Unlawful S*xual Conduct with a Minor and one first degree felony charge of R**e of a female student in 2004.

The indictment specifies that, in 2016, Mr. Huck unlawfully assisted his then wife Michal Paige Huck when she – in violation of the law and on several occasions -- engaged in s*xual activity with two male students between the ages of 13 and 16.
Evidence gathered by investigators shows multiple instances of Mr. Huck aiding and abetting Ms. Huck in this twisted pattern of s*xual abuse. The Grand Jury previously indicted Ms. Huck for her role in these crimes and she is currently awaiting trial.

In an even more serious charge, the Grand Jury also indicted Mr. Huck for ra**ng a teenager who was a student attending River Valley High School. The attack occurred at a nighttime event held at the Huck house in August 2004. The victim’s identity is protected by state law.

“Matthew Huck was a teacher and coach who spent most of his time around teenagers whom he was required to protect but, all the while, he was scheming to see them s*xually abused,” Special Prosecutor Mark R. Weaver said. “And, in one instance outlined in the indictment, he did more than scheme – he r**ed a girl.”

“Many people in Gallia County suspected this was happening but we needed hard evidence to prove it – now we have it,” Special Prosecutor David Kelley said. “We’ll be asking a jury of his peers to hold Matthew Huck fully accountable for his predatory behavior.”

“Parents in this community trusted Matthew Huck to look out for their kids and he betrayed that trust,” Weaver added. “The evidence makes it clear that Matthew Huck now must face justice.”

Weaver went on to praise the victim of the r**e. “This woman bravely came forward to tell us what happened,” he said. “She did the right thing and her willingness to speak up may well save others from being victimized.”

If convicted on all counts, Mr. Huck faces a prison sentence of up to 26 years and lifetime registration as a s*x offender.

“We want to thank Gallia County Sheriff Matt Champlin and his team – as well as Attorney General Dave Yost’s Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation – for working this case from the ground up,” Weaver said after meeting with the Grand Jury. Kelley agreed, adding, “These law enforcement partners of ours have done right by the community and everyone owes them a debt of gratitude.”

Kelley spent nearly three decades as the Adams County Prosecuting Attorney and as an Assistant Prosecutor in other Ohio counties. Weaver was the Deputy Attorney General of Ohio and has served as a special prosecutor in a dozen Ohio counties, including numerous child s*x cases and two death penalty prosecutions. He is currently an Assistant Prosecutor in Marion County.

As with all indictments, the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in court.

Former Worthington Christian girls' basketball coach arrested, accused of having s*x with students 03/28/2024

It is very sad to see, yet another adult in our local schools taking advantage of vulnerable students. The student who came forward to tell her story, should be very proud of putting an end to this predator's acts. Unfortunately, as you will see from the school's statement on the matter, administrators were quick to deny any responsibility, as they are more worried about their own liability than the well-being of this criminal's victims.

Former Worthington Christian girls' basketball coach arrested, accused of having s*x with students Court records say Jason Dawson was charged with two counts of s*xual battery involving a minor and one count of pandering s*xually oriented matter involving a minor.
