Perry Hall High School gym teacher arrested on multiple counts of child sexual abuse

On June 11, Detectives from the Baltimore County Police Department’s Crimes Against Children Unit arrested 40-year-old Sean Brooks on charges of sexual abuse of a minor, which stemmed from alleged crimes that occurred on school premises. Brooks, who is employed with Baltimore County Public Schools, is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center without bond.

WBAL-TV reports that Brooks is a gym teacher at Perry Hall High School, and according to police reports that, “there are three victims at this time, and the arrest was not made on school property.”

Fox News in Baltimore shared a letter sent out by the principal of Perry Hall High School that reads:

“Dear Staff, Parents and Caregivers:

I am writing to inform you of the arrest of Sean Brooks, a physical education teacher at Perry Hall High School. Mr. Brooks is charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse of a minor.

BCPS is fully cooperating with law enforcement on this matter and Mr. Brooks is on administrative leave and is barred from BCPS property. These charges are deeply disturbing, and this alleged behavior is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

Mr. Brooks was hired in August 2017 and has worked at Perry Hall High School since that time. I understand that students and staff who know Mr. Brooks may have questions and concerns about this arrest and may need to speak with someone to process their feelings in a safe space. Counseling staff will be available to speak with students throughout this week. Please call 443- 809-5110 for support.

Ensuring a safe learning environment for our students is our top priority. If you have any information about this matter or know of other potential victims, please contact the Baltimore County Police Department Crimes Against Children Unit office at 410-887-7720 or the Department of Social Services at 410-887-8463 (TIME).

Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions.

Sincerely, Abbey Campbell, Principal”

Anyone with more information about the allegations or who may believe their child may be a victim is asked to call the police department’s Crimes Against Children Unit at 410-887-7720.
