For more than a year, a sheriff s deputy assigned as a school resource officer (SRO) at a high school in Linn County, Kansas, carried on a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old student, sometimes in his office on campus, according to a federal lawsuit.
The two would sometimes kiss or inappropriately touch while in the school building, the suit alleges.
The sheriff s office, the former SRO, Linn County and the Pleasanton School District are all named as defendants. Former deputy David Allen Huggins is now serving 15 years in prison for three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a minor after pleading guilty in 2019.
