Elementary School Teacher Darcy Smith Accused In Rape Of 14-Year-Old Former Student

She was supposed to be a good influence and keep him out of harm’s way, but now a former regional Teacher of the Year is accused of raping her 14-year-old student.

Darcy Smith, 41, is accused of habitually sexually abusing the boy over a period of four years. The Washington state teacher was charged Thursday with three counts of third-degree child rape. The alleged victim, now 19, reported the abuse to the King County Sheriff’s Office in May 2014.

School officials say they notified the parents of the investigation last week.

Smith is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 12.
