Hancock ex-teacher confesses to assaulting student


Seth Briggs, a former music teacher at Hancock Grammar School, entered a guilty plea on Monday to assault and disorderly conduct charges following an incident at Funtown Splashtown USA in June 2022. The 37-year-old teacher from Glenburn was accused of rubbing a student’s legs during a school trip to the amusement park and waterpark. While the charge of unlawful sexual touching was dropped as part of a plea deal, Briggs still faces a disorderly conduct charge and must adhere to conditions of his release for a year to have the assault charge dismissed. The victim, who was 14 at the time of the incident and a student of Briggs, testified extensively in court. The case highlights the importance of protecting students from inappropriate behavior by educators and the legal consequences that can result from such actions. Briggs’ guilty plea serves as a reminder of the responsibility that teachers have to maintain appropriate boundaries with their students and the potential consequences of violating those boundaries. This case is a clear example of the legal system holding educators accountable for their actions and ensuring the safety and well-being of students in schools.
