A decade-old incident between a man charged Wednesday with corruption of minors surfaced after the man was hired as a long-term substitute teacher in the Warren County School District.

Logan N. Beard, 35, of Warren was charged by Warren County Detectives on Wednesday with third-degree felony corruption of minors – defendant age 18 or above, third-degree felony unlawful contact with a minor – sexual offenses and misdemeanor indecent exposure. Beard was arraigned Thursday by Magisterial District Judge Raymond Zydonik, who set bail at $25,000 unsecured. Warren police said Beard was released with pre-trial supervision. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for March 25 in Zydonik’s court.

Warren police say Beard was charged following an investigation into an alleged inappropriate relationship between Beard and a youth involved in a youth choir in 2016.

Gary Weber, Warren County School District superintendent, told the Times Observer on Thursday that the district was notified before the charges were filed.

“(Wednesday) afternoon, the Warren County School District was notified that Logan Beard was going to be charged today for crimes involving a minor committed approximately 10 years ago,” Weber said. “We immediately removed Mr. Beard from the school pending any legal action. Mr. Beard was recently hired as a long-term substitute at Beaty-Warren Middle School.”

According to the Affidavit of Probable Cause, the unnamed person went to police with text messages sent after the alleged 2016 incident during which Beard allegedly apologized for the incident. Beard, the affidavit states, was an assistant in a theater program that included school students at the time.

“She had just found out that he had become a teacher for Beaty Middle School and was concerned that this could happen to another person,” the affidavit states.
