Statutory sodomy charges dropped against former Lindbergh High School teacher

The prosecuting attorney's office said "further investigation turned up evidence that did not support the allegations.”

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — Charges were dropped against a former Lindbergh High School teacher accused of statutory sodomy earlier this year.

The two charges against Grant Gaumer, 37, were dropped by the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell's office.

Gaumer was accused of inappropriate sexual contact with a student at the school, but Bell's office said, "further investigation turned up evidence that did not support the allegations.”

Editor's note: 5 On Your Side has unpublished two previous stories, published June 2 and September 9, about this case because the allegations were not supported. 5 On Your Side does not name the subjects of crime stories if they are not facing charges, but we made an exception in this instance at the subject's request.
