A former Pennsylvania high school teacher who was fired for allegedly acting as a "lookout" while another teacher sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl has now been charged with having an inappropriate relationship with a student.
Brian Hampel was arraigned on Monday on corruption of minors charges.
Court documents allege Hampel bought alcohol for students and regularly attended student parties. Witnesses told investigators Hampel kissed and fondled an underage girl during at least one party.
The Wilkes-Barre Area School Board fired the Coughlin High School teacher last month.
Hampel testified at the trial of teacher Stephen Stahl, who was convicted last year in the 2004 student sex case. Hampel has denied any involvement.
Hampel is jailed on $50,000 bail. It's not known if he has a lawyer.
