A Babylon High School teacher appeared in court today on rape and
criminal sexual act charges after a grand jury indictment last month.
A private conference was held in the judge’s chambers.
Timothy Harrison, 46, of Oak Beach, and his wife walked into court
in Riverhead this morning. The appearance involved a judge’s conference
with prosecution and defense attorneys.
Discovery was produced and discussed, according to the
Suffolk DA’s Office.
A suspended Babylon High School teacher and lacrosse coach,
Harrison is accused of giving the victim alcohol and having sex
with her at his home.
Laura Ahearn, from the Crime Victims Center, is working
with the Babylon School District and says more than 20 alleged
victims from the district have come to her office with complaints against
several teachers.
“We hope to see some significant changes with protocols and
policies and procedures,” says Ahearn
The case was adjourned until June 6.
