A Clark County middle school teacher is on administrative leave after allegations that he inappropriately touched a female student.  This same teacher was suspended a few years ago for a similar incident.

According to the arrest report, Harney Middle School teacher Dale Scharpf, called a 13-year-old female student into an office to discuss her absence from school earlier in the week. The student told police that Scharpf touched her breasts and hugged her. The student said she left the office in tears and later reported the incident to the principal, who called police.

The incident allegedly took place on Jan. 16, 2008. Another teacher told police she witnessed the girl go into an office with Scharpf and she also witnessed the teacher hug the student.

Scharpf is currently on administrative leave. He did admit to police that he received a 10-day suspension in 2005 for reportedly touching a female student's breast. Scharpf told police that he did not believe he had done anything wrong at that time and that he is a touchy kind of person who cares for kids.
