PIKESVILLE, Md. — A gym teacher and coach at a Jewish high school outside Baltimore has been charged with child abuse for allegedly having sex with a student over a 4-year period.

Baltimore County police say 33-year-old Foye Minton was charged after an investigation by the department’s crimes against children unit.

Police say the victim is now 20 years old and contacted investigators in December. She told police the abuse began in 2009 when she was a student at the Shoshana S. Cardin School. Minton was dean of students and athletic director at the time.

Minton is being held on $350,000 bond. Online court records of the case are sealed, and there is no listing of an attorney for him.
